This little "game" of seeing the dancer turn clockwise or counterclockwise....it is interesting. When I first looked at it she was decidedly turning clockwise. It says that most people see it turning the opposite direction. It also says that "you can try to focus" and change the direction.
I actually found that not focusing was the stimulus for changing her direction. If I look at her out of the corner of my right eye while trying to look away, she flips to counter-clockwise. If I look at her out of the corner of my left eye while trying to look away, she flips back to clockwise.
So, in my very non-scientific way I surmise that I am "naturally" right-brained but have trained myself to be able to function fairly evenly from either side of my brain.
EDIT: But then, if I sit and count, she likes to change directions at 26 rotations, 2 rotations, 8 rotations, 26 rotations, 6 rotations, 9 rotations, repeat pattern...so either its fixed to change or I'm kookoo.
EDIT: coyote3502 saw some of the changes in rotation that I did, but not all. Interesting.
EDIT: Why does this interest me so?

satyrlovesong, I'm sorry, I got distracted and didn't get back to you. The two pairs of boots and one shirt went to dragon_fairie. The rest of the shoes and clothing went to 1cricketsong. She lives in those sandals. Thank you so so much!!!!

I said goodbye to gira today. Went in and spent not-enough-time with her, brought home her gifts.....I did well till the last minute.....she gave me a touching gift and I lost it. For that matter, sitting her typing this is bringing tears to my eyes. I had wanted more time for us to reconnect and to spend time together. I let the schedule get in the way of that. Now she gets on a plane and flies to Houston for a layover and then on to New Orleans. Gustav probably won't hit till Sunday or early next week, so her flight in is fine. But then what does she do? She lands, goes to her Guest House and then has to pack up herself and the cat and get out because New Orleans is saying evacuations are starting this weekend.
I'm worried about her. I'm missing her already. I'm regretting the lost time. We were sisters at heart and priestesses with each other. We drifted apart and were just headed back together. Time will never stop us from being friends, but distance will interfere with the closeness. I miss her already.

The day has been hot and long, no matter what. I left the house at 7:50, returned briefly around 12:30 and didn't get back again till around 4:30. It is date night and I'm tired. I should be hanging laundry and starting the next load and I just want to hide from people for a bit and not move. I should be making dinner for the family. I will.....soon.
