What should I do/rant

[DrummerDeanna]

Okay - so I'm been in Rochester for almost a year now.

I've met some nice people - there are a couple of girls I go to dinner with about once a week.

My problem? I REALLY REALLY DISLIKE one of them. Now - she's a very sweet girl - but she is not very bright - and she totally lacks common sense. She never has anything of value to contribute to conversations - mostly she sits there and nods - then states the obvious. Or she'll try to contribute by telling a story -and she'll laugh and laugh through the whole story - and I NEVER find them funny -they're really really stupid - like I don't even think my 6 year old nephew would find them funny.

I think she's got a learning disability of some sort because her ability to retain information is pretty much nil - she doesn't seem to be able to read too well - like she got a ticket once and was telling us and she said, "The instructions say i have to go down to the traffic 'boo-roo' " BOO-ROO - was actually Bureau. Ok - then we were eating at REd Lobster once and she ordered the admiral's platter - only she asked for the "add-MY-rals" platter. wtf.

Ok - anyway - her very pressence annoys the **** out of me. SEriously. And so lately I am just outright not nice to her - I correct her stupid statements etc....it's horrible.

BUT the other girl (who says she too is annoyed by this girl) doesn't want us to not go out - and i do like the other girl.

I'm at my wits end though. I tried to have a little gathering last weekend WITHOUT said girl - she called right before it and said, "I heard that you might be having something at your place- am I invited" ugh...she had already talked to our friend and I felt really bad saying no - so I said yes

So it's not like she's outwardly doing anything to me - she's very nice and all that - she just makes me want to put sharp things in my eye.

How does one dump a friend? what should I do about this situation ?

I've tried taking a few weeks off from seeing her -but the minute I do all my rage comes back.
