DON'T freak out because within the first 5 seconds of your buzznet life a "scary looking man with lots of tattoos who has the screename 'Panasonicyouth' " has added you. Numero uno, he is not scary looking. Numero two, that's Mark. He's the community manager here at buzzy, and he is automatically added to everyone's friend list. So it would also be a good idea not to drop a note saying, "thanx for da add"
DON'T rape the capslock. It's annoys people. But there are some exceptions. You are permitted to use the capslock button when talking about books by Stephanie Meyer, ferrets, or when a group admin tells you that you can.
DON'T be a mass adder. If you only add people because you want your friend count to go up, you will quickly find that you actually have no friends. or a life.
DON'T be a spammer. You will get reported, and the almighty gods of buzznet will smite you. Seriously.
DON'T be racist. Just don't. No one will like you, and in 10 years you will end up like your crazy neighbor with the 27 parakeets.
DON'T self promote. If people like your work, the praise will come. If you self promote you just look like a desperate wannabe.
DON'T post revealing pictures of yourself. Ew. No.
DON'T whine about badges. Yes, the badgers may be cute, but they will bite your ass if you're not careful.
DO Participate in QOTD and the photo assignments. It's fun and you'll make lots of friends that way.
DO drop a note when you add someone. This lets people no you're not an aforementioned 'mass adder'
DO comment on people's stuff. It's a nice thing to do.
DO be crazy. Believe me, it's really fun.
DO join lots of groups. It's a great way to make friends and there's a group about pretty much everything.
DO go lolcats.com. It owns life.
DO make crazy list things like this. It'll make you happy.
Well, new buzzy members, this is the general do's and dont's of buzznet according to me. If you ever need any help, there's a help forum for just that. You're gonna love it here=]]]

I might be exagerating a tad here.
Maybe it's because I'm the only teenage girl surrounded by pre-teen and younger disney channel watchers. Maybe it's because of the awkward conversations the adults feel they are obligated to have with me about my summer. Maybe it's me trying to please my parents by talking to my younger cousins knowing, that they would much rather be doing something else and really don't care what I have to say. Maybe it's because I don't even care what I have to say.
Maybe it's because I feel like I don't fit in with my own flesh and blood.
*sigh*
This is going to be one looooooooong weekend.
