Words & Wordplay (Education & Reference) - October 2007

it and i just wanted to share it with you. please give me any criticism you want. idc.

Creepy crawlers haunt my decayed brain as all these destructive, horrible thoughts you've made me live with are turning from caterpillars to butterflies in my stomach, and are creating a black hole of pure hurt and death inside me empty soul.
I look around me but I am blinded; blinded by the pain and torture you have caused me. I try to regain sight, but know that this is just a fantasy. Nothing is possible anymore. You took all my hopes and dreams and shoved them into your suitcase along with a bunch of old, meaningless memories and my slashed heart that has been being tortured for these last few days.
I am now just trying to find the white towel so I can just throw it in and quit. But I can't find it. I admit that I may have the ability to find it but something is still pushing me through this, telling me that I haveso much to live for, so much I can actually accomplish, (read on)

and a girl whom I need to find and be with. It's a little thing called love and it is indestructable even under the most difficult situations and pressures.
All I can promise is that I will never "find" the white towel; I will keep on going.
And if one day I feel like "finding" that towel and giving myself up, I will find some courage, some hope, some life in love that will force me to dye that towl pink.

Is this a word, "anonymitous"?

I read it in a paper I was proofreading and it sounds a little wierd. It is supposed to mean "of anonymity" which would turn out to be anonymitous.

If it IS wrong, what word could I suggest instead?

It is used in the sentence "...shows that the conflict originates in anonymitous, insecure, mob-like situation..."

Grammar Help! Is it me and Mike, Mike and me, or Mike and I?

When captioning a picture, what is the proper way to do it?

Example: There's a picture of me standing to the left of my friend Mike.

Would I caption it:
1) "Mike and I" (are in the picture),
2) "Mike and me" (he's first in the picture) or
3) "Me and Mike"(it's my picture anyway, so I should be first)?

I see people doing it every which way, but it bothers me. I'm so confused! >_< Thanks for your help!
