Things I dislike with a passion:
People who seem otherwise completely intelligent misusing and interchanging "me" and "I" in phrases. Sometimes I think people are trying to sound smart, when they are in fact botching the English language (yes, for me this constitutes botching the language). An illustration on how much this actually bothers me--a google chat with a friend:
Him: "Soo, how is work? Do you want to come to the rope swings in Mona with Chad, Summer, Veronika and I after work?"
Me: "Do you want to come to the rope swings in Mona with Chad, Summer, Veronika and [insert the grammatically correct ME here] after work?"
Girls who dress up for sporting events. I don't really need to elaborate.
When people do not shut my locker above my desk at work when they come use something of mine. There was going to be a photo to go along with this, but my camera here at work is in mutiny. Things left open in general--doors, cabinets, drawers.
It's also kind of bothering me that my draft keeps getting autosaved when I haven't added to it. Don't ask why. I should appreciate it.
I'm done. I really just wanted to talk about "me" and "I" because of a caption I read on facebook. I figured this was a good outlet.

About Me
- Cindy
- I love new things and old things. I'm easily pleased but picky about the standards of the people I surround myself with. I like local bands and the music of pop stars. Got me figured out yet? My life's a patchwork of interests and I like it that way--don't tell me to make up my mind.

I'm commenting on my own post. I would like to acknowledge that my grammar in this post is not perfect. But most of the things here are casual writing. But what I was talking about here is something you learn in...2nd grade? Sometime near there? Even in casual speech this mistake should not be made.
I agree. I'm glad that someone feels the same way as I do about the proper usage of "me" and "I." Hope my bro doesn't make that mistake!
