I have been thinking about faces again—what they say, what we see in them, and how closely those two things are related. As someone who frequently hears things like “what are you mad about?” and “you look like you want to say something” (derogatory) when I feel as though my mind is in a nearly blank, nirvana-esque state, I have a particular personal interest in the topic. Some of my best friends have told me they were convinced I hated them before they got to know me. Years ago, our culture referred to my condition using a moderately profane (and pretty clearly misogynistic) abbreviation for my condition: RBF. I guess for me, maybe we can call it Resting Bastard Face?
