Actually, I'm a little different. I've done it maybe, once or twice while drawing. With my writing however, well... let's just say I never leave my room to write anymore... especially during emotional scenes ^^;

It's a natural thing to do when drawing. We're trying to figure out where to put stress lines in our drawings to really bring out the emotion we are trying to express and to get a feel for it, we mimic that emotion with our own faces. If that makes sense o_O

Guilty, only when I write, since I don't art so much.

Even when I'm thinking up a new scene I want to write while walking to the university cafeteria, I'll be acting it out along the way. Sometimes I know I look like a spaz, but I COULD CARE LESS. <3

Of course I never do this when around other people that I know. I think that they would prefer me talking to them and hanging out instead of spazzing out. Not that I want to be someone else around other people, just that I can be me in a different way. ... if... that makes any sense |:

I voted "Yep! Guilty!" but I should have only said "sometimes". ^^;

I don't get the question >_> You're asking if people keep reusing the same expressions for every character?

Heh, I worded that funny xD
Like when you're drawing a person with a certain expression, only to find yourself also making that same expression with your own face.
(I'm drawing a sad person, my own face looks sad)

Oh! Haha, I never noticed if I do that or not.
