bewizeCongratulations! You've acquired access to your very own Bewize. Allow me to share a few things that I think will make the experience more fun and less stressful for all parties. Anyone who has had access to a Bewize in the past, feel free to make suggestions in the comments.
1. The first thing to know about a Bewize is that they tend to be very private. You'll find mostly locked journal entries, because Bewizes tend to have jobs that require some amounts of privacy (like, for example, lawyering). That said, Bewizes are generally happy to add friends, as long as friends don't come across as creepy, stalkery types who like to cause trouble. Bewize needs no help causing trouble.
2. Bewizes work a great deal. In fact, Bewizes are work-a-holics. Currently, reports suggest that Bewizes have upwards of 2 jobs at any given time (lawyering, contract lawyering, freelance writing, a variety of random jobs will all be likely). Bewizes are also entrepreneurs and as anyone with their own business knows, it's never a 9-5 deal. Bewizes take on work at the expense of nearly everything else.
3. Because of Bewizes' work habits, Bewizes occasionally suffer health problems. Most recently, Bewizes are reported as being susceptible to the "chest plague" and/or asthma. Luckily, most health problems can be controlled with medication.
4. Bewizes have obsessive personalities and tend to ramble about whatever it is that has caught their attention. Current trends suggest that diet and exercise are high on the list, as well as the usual like friends, family and work.
5. Bewizes are great at existing in drama. This is a good thing, because Bewizes have nearly magical powers at attracting it, even though most of it isn't their fault. No really, it usually is not their fault. Bewizes have been known to randomly meet and befriend famous people and randomly get sued. Both are equally likely to happen.
6. Bewizes are social creatures and enjoy going out with friends. Bewizes are unlikely to be in serious relationships, though on occasion they may dabble. Bewizes may live with a variety of roommates, including toddler godsons. Bewizes may be hard to track down for this reason.
7. Bewizes have a love/hate relationship with technology. A Bewize will never be far from her phone, but she will likely not answer it. Bewizes can be obsessive about the internet.
8. Bewizes can be depended on to take 90% of things in stride. Upset Bewizes are less likely than pissed off Bewizes. Pissed off Bewizes should be approached with extreme caution. Pissed off Bewizes should never be taunted to "be honest about what she really thinks." In fact, pissed off Bewizes should never be taunted. Really, neither should a calm Bewize.
9. Bewizes are opinionated. No really, a Bewize will likely have an opinion about everything. If she chooses not to share it, it's because she likely thinks it will cause drama (see above about Bewize needing no help to find drama). If pushed, a Bewize will nearly always tell you what it thinks.
10. Bewizes are known to switch emotions fairly quickly, and even an angry Bewize can be calmed down. Bewizes are tremendously loyal, but if you push a Bewize too far, you're probably never going to get one back.
In short, Bewizes are an adventure. :)
Good luck with yours!
