What do I do now?
Here's the story: I wanted to create a Writing Club at my school this year, but another girl had the same idea as mine. I talked to her about it, and shared my ideas, but I wasn't sure if I want to collaborate with her because..
Please don't judge me as a shallow person, I'm just being realistic here.
Because she is a bit on the anti-social side..strange..etc. She's friendly, but she doesn't "get it".
But now, I'm going to have to, because she already put my name down as co-leader.
I really don't want to cooperate with her, because she does not seem to understand people, and you need to understand people to create a club.
For promotion ideas, she wanted to around reading shakespeare to random people during our lunch hour. And I was like " " That's going to turn people off more than anything.
And her equally weird friends that she invited to the club want to discuss and dissect comic books.
WTF.
My ideas for promotion was to throw a huge bash, and hire a slam poet to come read to us. Basically, the opposite of what she wants.
What do I do? I really want to make this club a success.

youre starting a club about reading books, chances are, you are going to get mostly weird people joining anyways. but its not like her idea costs money, while yours does, so its easy enough to do both. and occasioanlly analyzing a comic book will only bring more people into the club.

You said it yourself, you're going to have to cooperate with her.
You two obviously have different ideas, and if you haven't already tried talking to her, that's all you're going to be able to do. There aren't any secret tricks that are going to get her to agree with you on everything. I'm sorry about that.
Try making compromises, like maybe you could try both of your ideas. Yes, I know you said it might turn people off to the club using her idea, but you might honestly be surprised. I don't consider myself weird, but I would definitely appreciate the different way of trying to attract people to the club. If her idea doesn't work, let her know in a polite way and suggest that you two use your idea of the huge poetry bash.
Basically if you don't learn to cooperate with her now, it's going to be a miserable year for you. Once you get more people in the group, you could hold voting sessions to decide on issues, that way it's what the majority of the group will want.
Good luck ;]
