If you are starting a thread, you want to try to place it in the forum that best describes the topic. If you are responding to a thread, you don't have any control over that. Don't worry if a thread seems to drift a bit (or a lot). That's the nature of the beast in a forum just like it is in a conversation at a party.
You do want to start your own journal. Look at the sticky (or announcement) at the top of the thread list on how to do this - it's simple and it give both you and others a fixed place to keep in touch.
As for buddies....I gotta get me some of them one of these days. So I can't help you. I'm an engineer. Engineers, as a rule, don't have buddies. The best we can usually do is identifya few people that can tolerate us better than most.
But I think the "buddy list" is nothing more than a group of people that are grouped so that if you sent a private message to the buddy list it goes to everyone on the list.
I would recommend going through the FAQ (click on the big question mark near the top of the page). I think that will answer most of your questions. In fact, now that I am much more comfortable with the boards, I think I will go revisit it myself. There's bound to be lots of stuff that I just glossed over before because it didn't make sense to me.
