Relative Temperatures

Living in Canada, I see this all too often.

Temperature is a completely relative thing. Here, our temperature can range from 30 degrees celsius to -30 degrees celsius. So 10 degrees in the fall is completely different in the fall than in the spring.

FALL

Definitely wearing a sweater, maybe a light jacket. Zipped up, warm shoes, not down to play sports or really do anything except take walks outside. Complaining about the cold weather. Possibly talking about how early winter started this year.

SPRING

Tshirts. Or sweatered. No jackets though. Rainboots, running shoes not really insulated footwear. Excited & happy. Willing to go outside with any reason.

I don’t know if anyone else notices these changes in people around them during the transition months, just think it’s sort of interesting how we perceive temperatures based on what we’ve been experiencing recently.

Handedness

aka “Obsessions: Part 1” (Oh yes, part one of many)

I am interested in a plethora of things that range from super popular and normal to obscure and kind of really weird. This one is closer to the latter in the scale.

I am really interested in handedness and everything about it. If you’re fully right or left handed, if you are a mix (aka cross-dominance) and how it affects your life. I myself am cross dominant which is probably why I find all this so fascinating. I write with my right hand and do most other things with my left hand and something things it really doesn’t matter. I’m left handed for most sports which sometimes gives me the upper hand like in badminton as people usually smash towards your bad hand which is normally your left hand so sometimes they won’t notice that they’re hitting the birdie directly at my racquet. I cut with my right hand but I always seem to pick up scissors with my left. And I used my phone with my left hand and that always gets in the way of the headphone jack. So there are ups and down but I’m still really proud of being a little different.

As for other people, my friends can attest that I always notice – and usually point out – when people are not right handed. Animated movies, tv commercials or just random people. I look for it so much that I can just tell right away when someone is writing with their left hand. It just really intrigues me to know.

Facts

1/10 of the world population is left-handed

Macs were actually made for left handers; a lot of important plugs are all found on the left side.

Left handers are usually more right brained
