Bubblehead (or, I'm so mistanthropic)

Is it wrong to not want to be friends with someone because they’re just too dumb? We’re hanging out with girl, someone I lost touch with (sorta deliberately), one of Phil’s exes tonight. She’s sweet, but exceedingly boring, and tiresome to spend any amount of time with. Irv gets a Myspace, and now all of a sudden, he’s mister social butterfly talking to all these girls (which is fine, in and of itself) but to foist them on me is somewhat annoying. I don’t mind her, and I don’t mind going out to dinner or hanging out once in awhile, but I can’t see myself forging the deep bonds of friendship with someone who can’t even hold a phone conversation.

She calls me, just to confirm that we’re hanging out, but I can’t get a word edgewise, because she’s giggling endlessly.

Her: “hehehehehehehehehehe we haven’t hung out in so long hehehehehheehhehehe”
Me: “Yeah, it’ll be great to hang out tonight, what did you feel like doing? Wanna go get some food or something.”
Her: “hehehehhehehehehehe I don’t know”.
Me: “ok, well, we’ll decide when you get here” “hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe ok!”

So, I’m hanging out with her, and her equally dumb yet twice as narcissistic sister, and they’re over an hour late. I’m getting steadily drunker, and tonight is gonna be a fiasco if the airheads don’t turn up soon.

I’m not judgemental, I won’t -not- hang out with her, but I can’t see myself working too hard to preserve this friendship. Irv does, for some reason, though, he’s such a sap.
