Volunteering - You're doing it wrong

A little while ago I hooked up with a great friend who is the Director of a great organization. She needed free help and I was happy to deliver.
So she gave me all these tasks to do at home and I started working away. Until I had a few questions, which was pretty much right off the bat.
"Hey friend" I emailed, "What do you mean by 'sliding scale'? What - like some colour coded option people can pick from? What is this?"
She never replied.
Hmmm... I put my work on hold.
I emailed her again a few days later: "Hey friend, so do you want to get together to talk about volunteering? I have a few questions..."
No response.
I waited, did no work, and emailed her a week later: "Hey friend, do you want to meet this awesome woman I know who can give you advice about the stuff you're having trouble with?"
Dead silence from her end.

The diva that I am I got really miffed. here I am. Offering her all this cool help, giving her free office chairs, using my contacts for her to network and now she's ignoring me? Not cool. Not cool at all.

I emailed her, because that's what I'm good at: "Hey friend. I am very busy. Can't help you right now. Maybe later. Email me if you need anything."
Zilch for an answer.
I left it at that for a a while - until I felt that it was just too awkward. "Hey friend" I emailed, 'cause it's what I do "Are you alive? Did you die? Am I volunteering or not? Jesus, let a woman know! Can you do that, please?" 

So great friend finally left a voice message yesterday. Nice as ever, chipper, fun and happy. If I'd care to come in today to "rock out" (synonymous for "working" in her world. She's fun that way.)  Rock out? ROCK OUT?! The nerve of that one! She just wants me to drop everything to rock out with her, doesn't she!  Yeah, I don't think so, lady!!! I ignored her message.
Until I realized that she'd mentioned something about "hope you got my emails..." Wait, what?

Turns out that the filter I applied to her messages in my Gmail account disables the new message alert for those emails in T-Bird. The folder doesn't even show the number of new great friend messages in brackets in bold, like I am used to from Outlook rules.
When I clicked on said folder yesterday - brrrrrrrrrrrrt - would you look at that...  A long list of emails from great friend, answering patiently all my questions, being understanding about my made-up-diva-busyness, calling me "sis" and thanking me for all that I do.

I am such
an asshole sometimes.
