Am without I

I see my friend always writing sentences with "Am" without the accompany of "I", like : "Am supposedly watching Veronica Mars." The sentence just seems grammatically incorrect to me. Can someone clear this up for me?

Also, "am" can be used once "I" has taken it's position of the pronoun in the sentence correct? Ex:

I like to write, surf the net, and am also a member of the International club.

It's sometimes called "telegraphic style" - as if you were sending a telegram and paying for each word, you would leave out some words to make it shorter. You might write like this in a diary, or in a very informal letter, especially if almost every sentence would otherwidse begin with "I."

In the other example you give, "I like to write, surf the net, and am also a member of the Interna
