I was not angry; annoyed a little, but not angry. I still meant to do it playfully and not injure her. I'm not trying to convince myself that it wasn't out of anger; I know it wasn't.
Annoyance still falls on the negative side of the emotional scale. As I said earlier, emotions are more of a continuum. I know it sounds weird to hear, but it might be a good idea to practice identifying your emotions as well as hers.
Here's one emotional scale, but there are oodles out there.
