Try this at your own risk, although, it isn't all that risky.

I spent the better part of a few days toying around trying to make this happen and then it occurred to me to use the email link when someone adds you.

To add yourself to your Vox neighborhood, you need to do the following:

1.  In your browser, navigate to your home page
2.  Choose the option to VIEW SOURCE.
3.  Scan down the source and look for "xid"... Here is what you might see:

    ArcheType.user = {
        id: "54646956581096989",
        xid: "6p00c2251e13128e1d", <<<<======= this is your id
        screen_name: "dewitte",
        uri: "http://dewitte.vox.com/"
4. Now - go to your browser address field and type(copy/paste) in the following:

http://www.vox.com/connect/to/6p00c2251e13128e1d?_c=eng1

Except - change 6p00c2251e13128e1d to your OWN id

Use the GO option (or hit enter or whatever it is you do) and you should get a prompt
to add yourself.  I would consider making yourself FRIEND and FAMILY.  

I wouldn't suggest not doing that.  Sounds too scary.

Also, I don't think it would be wise to BLOCK yourself.

Good addyourselftoyourneighborhooding!
