Find a flat, dry area that is several yards from any open water. Self-supporting nets are like tents, so you can find a spot that you would feel comfortable setting up a tent on. If you're inside, find a spot where you will feel the most comfortable and that has enough room for the net. Remove the net, as well as any rods, strings, and stakes, from its bag. Separate the net from the other parts. Spread the net over the area you have chosen. Pull the stake loops on the ends of the tent out to the corners of your sleeping area. If your net has a base, it will be easy to tell if you have it right-side up. If not, check to make sure any zippers are on top of the net. The poles will be broken into small sections that are connected with an elastic rope. Connect the sections together to form the full length of the pole. If you have polls of different lengths, separate them so you don't accidentally start to use a short poll where a long poll is needed. Depending on the particular net you have, there will either be fabric sleeves or clips that hold the polls in place. The polls will extend from one stake loop, over the top of the tent, and connect to the stake loop on the opposite side of the net. If you have a rectangular net, you will most likely have two long polls that cross each other in an X shape at the top of the net. On more elaborate nets, there may be a space for a smaller poll that holds the entryway of the net up. Using the included stakes, or sticks if no stakes are included with the net, stake the tent to the ground by hammering the stakes into each corner of the net. There will be loops on the corner of the tent that the stakes pass through. If you're inside, you don't need to stake the net to the ground. Keep it away from the edges of the net since mosquitoes can bite through the net if your skin is touching the edges. Make sure every zipper is closed completely. Otherwise, smaller mosquitoes may be able to get through.

Summary: Locate a suitable area for your net. Unpack the net. Lay out the net. Connect the poles. Insert the polls into the net. Stake the net to the ground. Place your sleeping bag or mattress inside the net. Close all of the zippers.

Don't hold back your thoughts when you're talking to other people, even if your thoughts may seem strange to other people. Try to look at all the aspects of a conversation and run with the first thing that comes into your head, even if it seems random or weird. For instance, you can have a conversation about the beauty of peach trees or the possibility that aliens may have invented the pyramids. Quirky people don't follow norms and will do things that other people don't even think of. Don't follow trends or pretend to like clothing, musicians, or movies just because they are new and everyone else likes them. At the same time, you shouldn't hate things just because they are popular. Listen to music and watch movies that you genuinely like! For instance, if everyone is raving about a new album that you don't like, don't pretend that you like it just to fit in. Even though you might act strange, you shouldn't come across as offensive or rude. Quirkiness is about being endearingly weird, not creepy or mean. Try to seem innocent and oblivious to the world around you. You can stare off into space, daydream, or act oblivious to social cues. Quirky people don't follow the norms set by society. Approach situations and problems in a way that's perceived as "strange" or "weird" to other people. If someone asks you why you did something out of the ordinary, act like it's totally normal. For instance, you can skip instead of walking, or you could hum even if there are people around you. Take photos, paint pictures, write poetry, or play a musical instrument. Try out different types of art and determine which ones you like to do most. Once you get used to a certain medium, don't be afraid to push the boundaries and do things that other people haven't tried. Popular instruments among quirky people include the guitar, bass, and ukulele.

Summary: Have conversations about random topics. Don't follow the crowd. Act as whimsical and adorable as possible. Do the unexpected. Create unique art.

Visit www.marvel.com/comics. There, you'll be able to shop for both print issues and digital copies that you can read on your computer or portable device. Marvel's online comics store is unmatched when it comes to selection, since all of the titles come straight from their own archives. Digital comics are generally more affordable than print comics, but have no collector's or resale value. If you tend to spend more than $10 per month on comic books, it may be worth your while to sign up for Marvel's premium subscription service, Marvel Unlimited. With Marvel Unlimited, you'll get access to over 25,000 comics for $9.99 a month. Sites like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Powell's can be good places to start if you're in the market for a specific trade paperback, collection, or one-off. For single issues you may have more luck browsing the web stores of well-known comic shops. Midtown Comics, Mile High Comics, My Comic Shop, and Newkadia all have huge selections and competitive pricing. The prices at online retailers are similar to those in-stores, though shipping can add a few extra dollars to your total at checkout. To keep shipping costs to a minimum, it's best to batch your orders as much as possible when buying online. Select the "Books" category, then use the subcategories or search bar to narrow down your search. Collectors often use e-commerce sites to unload titles they no longer want, so you never know what gems you'll come across. The titles available on Ebay and similar sites are constantly changing, so be sure to check back later if you don't find what you're looking for the first time around. Log into Facebook, then navigate to the "Marketplace" link on the left side of the home screen. Enter "Marvel comics" into the search bar to pull up a list of comics and other related merchandise. Unless you change the location of your search, you'll only be shown being listed in your own city, which makes it easy to get in touch with the seller and discuss purchase and pickup options. If you're using the mobile Facebook app, the Marketplace link will be the third one from the top when you select the menu tab in the bottom right-hand corner of the home screen. Most of the comics on Facebook Marketplace are either new releases or second- and third-hand issues that may not be in the greatest condition. Occasionally, you may also catch some rare and highly-sought-after items going for a bargain.
Summary: Purchase comics directly from Marvel's online store. Search for online retailers that sell Marvel comics. Score rare issues on sites like Ebay and Craigslist. Use Facebook Marketplace to buy used comics from sellers in your area.
