Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
i think you should TRY to talk to her. if she's as big as a drama queen as you say she is then she'll probably wig out. i dunno. if you try to talk to her she may wig out and she might not. just try it. if she's your best friend or even your friend she'll listen probably

Well, i would tell your friend the truth of how you feel. I really think that she should know how you feel. Also, tell it to her in a REALLY calm way, so it doesn't hurt her too much.

You cant just change someone, but you could try to reduce the conflict you two have. Try talking to her about how you feel.

Being a drama queen is actually a symptom of a mental disorder involving narcissism. She is desperate for attention and honestly feels that her happiness is all that matters. Many people (myself included) like to indulge occasionally in thoughts of "God, I'm the awesomeness. I should be Emperor of Awesome. heheheh." But she very deeply believes this is true. Her need to fight about every detail in her life is a sign that she is craving control and attention, any kind of attention. you say you don't want to lose her friendship, but what the hell kind of friend is she? Nobody ever wants to break it off, but you'll be much happier without her dragging you into her annoying, self-destructive drama.
I speak from experience when I say it's much better to try and exist without people's bullshit. Really.

I hear you, I have a friend just like that. Maybe you can try to explain to her that she doesn't have to make such a big deal out of everything, and how it makes you feel when she does it, without being mean or anything. If that doesn't work just try and ignore it.
Hope this helps.
