Most right-brained people like you are flexible in many realms of their
lives. Whether picking up on the nuances of musical concerto,
appreciating the subtle details in a work of art, or seeing the world
from a different perspective, right-brained people are creative,
imaginative, and attuned to their surroundings.
People probably see your thinking process as boundless, and that might
translate to your physical surroundings as well. Some people think of
you as messier than others. It's not that you're disorganized, it's
just that you might use different systems to organize (by theme, by
subject, by color). Straight alphabetization and rigidly ordered
folders are not typical of right-brained behavior.
You are also more intuitive than many. When it comes to reading
literature, you probably prefer creative writing or fiction over
nonfiction. And when it comes to doing math, you might find you enjoy
geometry more than other forms like algebra.
VERY true...especially the disorganized part...hahahahahaha....i know
where everything is (most of the time). perhaps i'm in the wrong
field and should have gone into the arts. 
The right right
brained dominance would also explain my left handed tendencies.
oooooooooooooooooh

Today, i did NOT wear a coat to go outside. All i wore was a
sweatshirt....and it sufficed! WAHOOOOOO!!!! Spring is coming!!
(and my allergies blah). No more horizontal snow falls.....no
more standing at a 45 degree angle in order to stay upright.....no more
frostbitten noses and toeses.
Anyhow, my dad has the weirdest spectrum of recipes. Growing up,
we would always have clam bakes at home. no lie. My dad
would drive us out to the fishing piers in long island and come back
with live lobsters, steamers, lemon and a roll of freshly baked
bread. Then he'd get his huge ass pot that we keep in the
basement because it doesn't fit in the kitchen cabinets, and throw the seafood
in (at which point, i'd have to leave the kitchen, because i could
never stand the sound of the lobsters scratching at the pot trying to
get out). Then he'd make fresh garlic bread and a butter
sauce. Now tell me, where the heck did he learn how to do
this? There ain't no clam bakes in Taiwan (at least i don't think
so). And we've never eaten at a seafood restaurant EVER.
And the garlic bread? The man doesn't even like italian food! We've
never eaten italian as a family either. So most families would
have special meals for thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, etc.
We would have clam bakes. I thought it was normal....i thought
all taiwanese families had clam bakes with garlic bread (and RICE of
course. You can't forget the rice).
My dad also lived in alabama before he moved to new york. And i
think he picked up some SOUL FOOD recipes, because growing up, we'd
have COLLARD GREENS and HAM. fo' real. so we'd have our hot
and sour soup....our kung pao chicken and some COLLARD GREENS...and
rice. i always thought collard greens was another version of bok
choi (it sort of is, scientifically).
And, i won't even mention the weird fruits he used to bring home for us
to try. Any fruit you can find in the states...i've probably
eaten it....except durian...i can not bring myself to eat foods that
smell like poop.
Here's my question of the day: is there something that your family eats
regularly that no other family eats? Or, is there something your family
eats that a family of your ethnicity doesn't normally eat?
