<knock knock knock>
Me: <mumbling> Who the fuck is knocking on my door? Fuck it. I am not expecting anyone. Maybe they will leave.
<knockknockknock>
Me: <whispering> justleavejustleavejustleave
<KNOCKKNOCKKNOCK>
Me: <hissing> what the fuck? <sliding across floor, peeking through blinds> FOR FUCK'S SAKE!
Sadness: YOOHOO!!! <knockityknockknock> Hellllooooooo!! Darling Dear?
Me: Shitshitshitshit <opening door>
Sadness: OH!! Here you are!! Look at you, my little pigeon! It has been too long!!
Me: Really? It feels like you were just here yesterday.
Sadness: Well, no dear. It has been a whole 6 months!! That seems like forever and a day! What are you doing with yourself? <barges in, nearly knocking my eye out with her garment bag>
Me: Um, let's see...I guess the usual. Moving things around making it seem like I am cleaning, taking a shower only when I start to offend myself, thinking of taking up a meth habit. You?
Sadness: Thinking about you, of course!! I just felt this force calling me here. You need me!!
Me: No, really I don't. I am fine on my own. Do you think we could do this some other time?
Sadness: Silly girl! There is no time like the present!! Let's get to it.
Me: No, really. I don't want to get to anything except maybe living a little. I really, REALLY can't do this now. Now about that meth habit...I need to do some research on the internetz.
Sadness: You don't want me here? But we have always had lovely visits! Remember last time? We did everything together!!
Me: Yeah, um, well...that's kinda the problem. See, you bring me the fuck down. I don't really like you. You never let me get anything done and you are such a fucking narcissist. I can't stand it. The worst thing is, you embarrass me in public and I don't want to be seen with you. How can I make you go away?
Sadness: Bwahahahahahaha!!! Make me go away? You really are so cute!! You can't MAKE me go away!! I come and go as I please! Showing up unannounced is part of the fun and adds an element of surprise! Aren't you surprised?? Alarmed even? See how FUN that is?
Me: Only if FUN is an acronym for Fucking Unbelievably Narcissistic.
Sadness: Hahahaha!! I love you! You make me laugh!
Me: ...
Me: Look, I hate you. How much more clear can I be? I.HATE.YOU. So, stay if you like, but I am going to pretend like you are not here. I will ignore you. I will block you out. I have a force field around me, protecting me from you. And don't even think about asking me to go running or to join me in any other activity I enjoy. No you may not. Are we clear??
Sadness: This sounds pretty important to you. But I can't leave. I have nowhere else to be at the present, so I can't leave until my time is up. I promise, you won't even know I am here. I will just sit in this corner here. See?
Me: You need to shut the fuck up, too. No talking. At all.
Sadness: <makes a zipping lip motion>
Me: Uh huh. Okay, I am going to clean up toys. <sideways glance> Leave me alone.
Sadness: <nodding> Mmhmm. Mkay.
Me: <pointing> I got both eyes on you, fucker. One false move...and I will cut your ass.
Sadness: <blank stare>
Me: Okay, sit there. I'll be back...
