Blink

[Amake]

I did extensive testing to find my dominant eye in archery class. (Little known fact: If you should hold the bow with your left or right hand depends on which eye is dominant, not which arm. But, also little known fact, ideally you should hold the bow in your dominant hand, as opposed to the string.) Anyway it turns out I'm ambidextrous eyeballwise. I can actually focus my consciousness to look out of either eye at will. It's groovy and does absolutely nothing to impress people at parties.

This has been a pointless personal aside. Interesting input, Bloods.

I'm left handed so the right side of my brain is pathed to control the left side of my body first. As such, when I close my eyes I can feel my left eyelid begin closing first, however to compensate my right eyelid will close at a faster rate and fell "heavier" when it completes its decent.

Weird huh? Also it is easier for me to wink my right eye.

For blinking I only ever blink one eye at a time. It is reckless and foolhardy to do otherwise.

I assume you've developed these survival skills out of a well-grounded fear that whenever you fall asleep, you'll wake up staring at William Wallace on a horse in your bedroom, swinging a flail.

But anyway, maybe the queue formations are tied to which side of the road you drive on in a given country. Interesting, interesting. Obviously you should form a queue to the right to freak people out if that's how it's not normally done around your parts.

In other news, I've turned down my monitor resolution to read Sluggy Freelance for about 18 and a half hours straight, by far the longest binge in an already long year of rereading. And I'm up to February 2001. And now I'm going to sleep the crap out of what's left of the night. I'm saving those wandering nights for summer. Have fun everyone.

If I concentrate reeeeeal hard, I can kinda make out my right eye shutting less than a fraction of a second before the left when I blink.

Or maybe I'm imagining things...

I think my left eye shuts first.

I will use the information gained from this thread to further my plans for world conquest.
Perhaps I will ralley the left-blinkers und my standard and decry right-blinkers as an international conspiracy.

Right power! Right power!

I've spent about 30 minutes trying to figure it out. Now you try.

Left. Figured it out years ago. Interestingly, I can control the delay between the two very well, but I can't wink worth a damn. Sometimes I make my eyelids do "the wave."

Having a full line of people do that would look really creepy, if you could see the eyes well enough. I mean imagine, the one closed eye moving along the line at (ideally) always the same height.
