    Now I have that Lady Gaga song in my head. I might have to punch myself in the face until I die.

    Very little emotion at work. I keep it very professional, even when some d-bag's laying into me because he can't figure out why I won't build an application for him when he still hasn't defined the requirements >:-]

    At home's another story, as my wife and kids can attest :D

    Well, it doesn't really matter what my face says because I am the type who shuts down when I'm mad or upset. I don't want to talk to you, look at you, or even be in the same room with you. I need half an hour or so to be silently pissed and secretly hoping you feel like garbage for whatever you did, and then I'm over it.

    I can't lie. Its impossible for me to tell a lie for many reasons.

    The same goes for telling a lie to a person, it shows on my face.

    Haha. Those that are close to me say that my "eyes glow" when I try to tell a lie. I cannot do it! (so games like BS and poker...I lose)

    But, when it comes to almost all other emotional responses you cant tell. I was raised with my dad telling me that tears and such were weak...so I tend to be a closed book.

    Everyone I know thinks I'm angry all the time. My face just tends to resemble a scowl a lot... I'm not angry, you just can't tell how I really feel.

    And I host regular poker parties at my house (well... when I'm at home and not deployed, that is... lol) and I often walk away with the most money, so I figure that's saying something. :D

    I have to cover up all my feelings. If i let my guard slip for a second, the effects could be catastrophic.

    Same here - when around my boyfriend or friends, I am not afraid to show emotions. When at work or in public - I have the best poker face and nobody can tell when I am stressed or flustered. :glasses:

    I cant hide anger or sadness, which I hate!:grumble:
    But I can usually keep a cool and level head during an emergency or otherwise crisis situation, even though I am usually freaking out on the inside. It always catches up with me eventually and I will find myself crumpled up on the floor crying a few days later. :frown:

    If I don't want people to know what I'm feeling or thinking, I can pull that off quite easily. :indifferent:

    My instinct is to wear my emotions, but I have been known to call my acting skills in on certain occasions (political, mostly).

    A poker face unless I'm thinking of a sarcastic comment...people that know me can tell immediately if I have a comment brewing.

    poker face, and a pocket full of planned expressions that can be pulled out when needed.

    On my sleeve, pant leg, face, MFP or FB wall... wherever... you name it... I wear my emotions on them. Not your typical dude I suppose... I know. LOL

    People can read something in my eyes and they say I'm a dead giveaway. So, I guess I can't get away with anything!

    I used to be very open but I'm starting to smarten up, especially at work. You show too much and you could get in trouble. So I'm trying but it's not in my nature. I am the type who shows everything I'm thinking.
