my grandmother was ambidextrous. i want to be ambidextrous. when i was a little kid and was living with my grandmother, i had no idea of my grandmother being ambidextrous except that one time when she used her left hand to write something. it strucked me and i thought that that was odd because i though i saw her used right hand in some occassion so i asked her if she was left-handed or right-handed. she replied: "i'm both". i was like woooow!, i had these big grin on my face and i could not believe that i had witness somebody who was ambidextrous.

to find ambidextrous people used to be pretty hard, but apparently they aren't that rare nowadays. i dont quite know the reason why though.

i'm pretty sure they quite rare if you see like one in a thousand population in a community. i don't quite understand what you mean when you say "hard".

I have never seen an ambidextrous person... although i once made a comparative study about the academic performance of left handed and right handed students... i finde the former very interesting... since most of have have eccentric personalities that we do not see in right handed individuals... but i am really curious about the personality of and ambidextrous... your grandmother must have been different... but in a positive way...

yes, she was special and different to most people in terms of being ambidextrous that is. i have mix memories about my grandmother. i think that in some way, my grandmother was a very intelligent person, she represented both right and left of life. i don't know what that means but i think it was pretty smart to say something like that.

as far as I know, a Japanese idol named HAMASAKI Ayumi is one of ambidextrous people. :P
when I was still a student, our Biology teacher was ambidextrous. he could write well with both of his hands. when one hand just got tired, he switched to another. LOL. and the handwriting were alike!

Im ambidextrous i don't really think it's that unique i was just raised to use both of my hands to do different things and just switch and it is a mildly common thing nowadays.
