INTERNET, THIS IS IMPORTANT.

Jul 13, 2009 22:47

Poll
My parents and I spent two ad breaks discussing the winking thing. TWO. I thought we were maybe done with it after the first one, but then the next break came along and my mum rounded on my dad and said 'TRY WINKING WITH YOUR OTHER EYE WITHOUT CONTORTING YOUR MOUTH!' Cue several minutes of gurning ( Read more... )

Winking with my left eye isn't hard exactly but it feels bloody uncomfortable.

wanttobeatree July 13 2009, 22:01:55 UTC

I WONDER WHAT IT IS THAT CHOOSES YOUR WINKING EYE.

QUICK, which way do you turn your head first?

lapifors July 13 2009, 22:06:19 UTC

Right. Turning it left feels odd. And lying on my left arm is reeeaally awkward unless I've already been asleep.

wanttobeatree July 13 2009, 22:07:36 UTC

I TURN MY HEAD LEFT. AND BLINK WITH MY LEFT EYE! AND SLEEP ON MY LEFT SIDE!

WE MAY BE ONTO SOMETHING HERE!

I am left handed, and I do ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF left side dominant, except use a mouse!

wanttobeatree July 13 2009, 22:06:54 UTC

YOU PEOPLE ARE CRAZY. My brother is like, the leftie that time forgot. Or something. He is entirely left side dominant except he writes with his right hand.

Which sock do you put on first?

(I don't think that will have anything to do with winking, I JUST WANT TO KNOW.)

shoiryu July 13 2009, 23:42:34 UTC

Left sock! Also left pants leg. :D I can also Vulcan greet with both hands, but the ring finger on my right hand is fucked up so it's slightly harder on that side.

Head turning: RIGHT. To go with Right-hand and right-eye dominance. IDK, it's not any harder to wink my left, but it's not what I instinctively do.

ON AN ENTIRELY UNRELATED NOTE, I've been hankering for Sam/Dean not!touching fic. Like. Bad things will happen if they touch and then they spend a lot of time pining after each other and wanting it. Thoughts?

wanttobeatree July 13 2009, 22:11:56 UTC

THIS IS WEIRDLY INTERESTING. I should not be so interested in side dominance, and yet. I may start searching google scholar for ESSAYS ON THIS SHIT.

My thought is: HELL TO THE YES. I actually had a friend who started writing a fic like that, but she has since ditched the internet. I've seen and loved the 'bad things happen if they don't touch' trope, but NO TOUCHING = SO MUCH ANGSTY PAAAAIN.

leviticus_lied July 13 2009, 22:15:08 UTC

Well, I still have my whenthewarsover fic to write. Maybe that can... :/ Not really, no. Shit, I'd have to write an ENTIRELY NEW story for that kind of fuckery.

BUT THAT TAKES INITIATIVE, TREE.

ETA OMG I'M BRILLIANT. Maybe the eye thing has to do with creativity/brain utilization more than physical dominance? Like, more creative is... either left- or right-brained, and more logical is the other one. You know what I mean.

I LIKE THIS THOUGHT. PINING.

woodstarling July 13 2009, 22:08:44 UTC

I'm totally right side dominant, but I wink with my left eye.

wanttobeatree July 13 2009, 22:09:28 UTC

WHICH SOCK GOES FIRST?

woodstarling July 13 2009, 22:11:46 UTC

You know, I haven't put on socks in a very long time. ASK AGAIN LATER.

wanttobeatree July 13 2009, 22:12:21 UTC

You're going to put a sock on now, aren't you?

I AM MAD WITH POWER.

PUT A HAT ON TOO.

annella July 13 2009, 22:14:48 UTC

I DO EVERYTHING TO THE RIGHT.

In possibly related news, my right eye is the one with crappy vision. So when I squint, I close my right eye. When I see double, I ignore what my right eye tells me. I HATE MY RIGHT EYE.

wanttobeatree July 13 2009, 22:23:13 UTC

CONGRATS, YOU ARE NOT A HATER. (Ha ha I made a joke, did you see.)

Weirdly, my right eye is the crappiest one, and yet the left is the one I close when squinting. I think my eyes are just stupid.
