this may sound stupid, but:
run yourself in a loop in which you only perform tasks that keep the girlfriend going on with what she's doing.
this may sound even more stupid, but:
after each task in the loop is finished, put in a sleep for yourself with increasing duration every iteration.
--> your girlfriend will more and more recognize that you're getting REALLY tired, and because you are so kind to care about all her tasks, she will sooner or later allow you to go and relax (tip: best to relax is working on your car, going for a motorcycle ride or maybe do something with your computer. it's only important that the girlfriend is out of range )
Two things:

1) at a very higher iteration, your sleep may get incrase enough that your girl friend process might get into starving and eventually into non-responding state too.

2) DON'T GET OFF TOPIC
