I used to be very annoyed by first person because the author wasn't actually the main character, so why were they pretending to be? It annoyed me so much I refused to read anything in first person for I don't know how long. Then I reread Ella Enchanted (first person) and I started liking first person again. :P Kids are weird.

(Is this semi-autobiographical? o_O)

I tend to use the first person frequently. I feel it's more...personal, I guess.

Lol, I think about the say thing sometimes. In 7th and 6th grade, my English Langue Arts teacher had this thing called, Free-write Fridays. Students would get to write for the first half of the class. Sometimes I would share my stories and poetry and my classmates would sometimes assume that the poem that I used the first person in was about myself. This made me chuckle you did a swell job. :)
