Nope..
I'm right handed, with a little touch of ambidexterity. But the reason
why I draw them this way, is that I think that they describe the meaning
of the sentence better, because they smile _to_ the text, and not the
other way around. Another thing is that I think it's more natural to
start a emoticon (after a text) with '(' instead of ':'

So, I'm not pushing anything but the buttons on my keyboard (;

Cheers,
Frank.
