It's hard to convey emotion through a board post, so I want you to read this, and focus your imagination:

See that ellipsis up there? That's my reaction. Imagine we're sitting at a coffee table. You just spoke. I spend the next 45 seconds staring at you. My expression flickers, from surprise, to disbelief, to exasperation, finally setting on a sort of low-level disdain.

The silence continues. You cough, once, hoping to break the lull, but this just focuses my stare even more. It's as if I am trying to commit your face to memory, never to forget the person who says the things you do. Or maybe I'm just trying to set you on fire with my brain.
