As a non-native speaker, it has always been weird to me, but this is still considered a normal, grammatically correct conversation:

  • Who is buying glasses?
  • Me.

You still wouldn't say "me am going to buy glasses".

While "I and a friend" seems to make more sense to me, considering all the weird stuff present in English, I'm fine letting this slip.

I chuckled. If you hadn't posted that, I was gonna comment "me buy glasses."

That's kind of an informal shorthand. The formal correct answer would be "I am."
