Rusty, mí misma doesn't make sense by itself. It should be yo misma.

Yeah, when I wrote mí misma by itself, it was my intention that something else would precede it (instead of sobre or acerca de). That's why I wrote it depends on the context after that line.
It's possible to say other things, like hablar de mí misma. So, it would have better to write de mí misma on that line. Last edited by Rusty; August 08, 2008 at 07:51 AM. |

OK, I think the most common notation for what you meant is: ... de mí misma.

Porqué no puede decir....
About myself - Sobre mi (??) without the use of 'mismo' straight hair - cabello lacio I usually associate liso with soft and lacio with straight......

When the object is refering back to the subject, in other words, when talking about oneself, always requires mismo/a, just as the words myself, yourself, ourselves, etc. in English are used when the subject and the object are one in the same. (Unfortunately, many people misuse the word myself, but it's proper use is as I have stated.)
No hables de mí. Don't talk about me. (The subject is you (2nd person), the object is me (1st person).) Quiero hablar de mí mismo. I want to talk about myself. (The subject and object are both in the 1st person.) |

I think that if it helps you to communicate with othe people it's OK.
