Anyway, I just do what feels natural in regard to placing/cutting my fabric, etc. It's been easier if I don't try to do it "leftie" or "rightie," but just "comfy."

i agree with that. i'm very left handed. can't do much with my right. until i got left handed scissors as an adult, i flipped the scissors over and cut that way. i'm still learning to use it, but i love the rotary cutter. i did have to play with it a bit to figure out where to place my ruler, how to handle the wheel. my cutter is an olfa and i found i have to use the side with the writing next to the ruler or i mess up, don't know if that helps you any.
