Well I use "ore" around close friends, but they usually rub me off as being "a silly foreigner". No, really, I like that word and thinks it suits me. Yay! (But in formal situations I use "watashi")

It's hard for English speakers to comprehend gender-specific pronouns since we really don't have them. Japanese does have gender-specific pronouns, but especially amongst today's youth the lines are becoming more and more blurred.
