i love her and i hate her

sounds like family right?
except not really....at least not right now, because I really can't stand her right now.
it's Ariane.
I started feeling a bit sick friday; she knew.
Yesterday (saturday) morning I had a fever and I stayed in bed all day.
Today I'm all better, so when I ran into her in the living room for the first time all weekend, she came over with a huge grin on her face (even I'm not naive enough to believe for a nanosecond that it was out of excitement of seeing me).
"Are you going to your friend* tonight??"
"no, even though my body temperature isn't setting off the fire alarm, i'm still not ready to leave the house" I should have answered "f-off i'm sick and your existence makes me feel sicker" but I didn't really feel that way about her until her latter comments.
She pouted a bit and asked if i would see him tomorrow, I said I didn't know; then tuesday? I still didn't know, but hoped that I would be well by then.

She seemed to never hear the part of my answer regarding my health, and but only that I wasn't seeing my friend! She then proceeded to argue and whine about how I promised to see my friend every weekend** and how unfair life is to her.

If she had even just pretended to care about anyone other than herself for a second, if she had just asked me "how are you feeling?" or even "do you feel well enough to see your friend anytime soon?", then I might have been tempted to give her the next dvd hidden in my closet***. but as it is, I'm definitely going to tell her he's busy all week. even though I'm hoping to see him on tuesday.

Since there's been a huge lapse in communication between me and cyperspace the last 2 months, (oops) I figured the only way to patch up is not try to catch up! but obviously there's bits of the story missing, so here are the footnotes:
*friend: Romain, owner of all 7 seasons of Buffy; to Ariane, he is the owner of the universe.
** to see Romain every weekend: If Ariane behaves well during the week, I borrow a Buffy disc from Romain every weekend for her.
***DVDs in my closet: Ariane doesn't know that I already got the entire season 3 from Romain in our first Buffy/Soul exchange.
