This week's emotion is Surprise. How would you describe the internal/physical response to surprise? How does your stomach, head, etc feel when you are surprised? What have you noticed in others?
I think it depends on whether it's a good surprise or a bad surprise.
For instance, I got a bad surprise earlier this year (my sister announced she was getting married--in about 12 hours, 1500 miles away), and during the conversation, I remember feeling a lot of hurt, and my ears kind of buzzed. I normally have tummy problems, so my stomach felt a little queasy. Outwardly, I tried to congratulate my sister, feel her out to make sure she was certain, that kind of thing.
I'm pretty dull to have around at Christmas; I generally don't get overly excited about surprises for holidays/birthdays unless it's truly an out-of-the-blue thing (like when my now-husband asked me to marry him!)
