Sound and mix~ma, ND. I know you'll be fantastic.

I just expressed interest in a Bay Area position. Probably because I have more work than I can handle right now and I'm procrastinating on ALL OF IT.

Thank you folks. This is really for my team. We've got a FOH mixer, monitor mixer, and backline tech working the gig, and then quite a few of my other normal crew helping out and seeing the venue in case we win the contract. I'm just the guy trying to think of all the possible gotchas and trying to make the night go smoothly. I probably won't spend any time behind any of the consoles.

Clan of the Cave Bear.

I was... ten? Eleven? I'd say it was... formative. When I re-read it as an adult it was like an inventory of my kinkier musings.

My sexual misconception was erections. I thought we were dealing with a 90 degree angle away from the body and did not see how that could possibly work. That lasted until my first personal encounter with one.

I had access to the internet from a very early age. We had dial-up when I was 11 or 12, which I recall because I used it for the accelerated learning program's homework. By the time I was 13 I was the savviest person at home or at school regarding the computers/internet.

I was deep into Star Trek RPG and the attendant fanfiction about my characters, getting into some fairly racy and explicit work. I had been reading adult-themed fiction, particularly science fiction, from a very early age. The few times my mother tried to bar me from reading a book, I would sneak in and take it to read for a few hours and then put it back while she was gone until the book was finished.

But that was the Internet of the Nineties, and for all the knowledge I gained and innocence I happily lost, today's internet is several orders of magnitude beyond that.

On the other hand I turned out pretty good, so maybe a little early fanfiction won't hurt?

Wattpad is a pretty curated place to post in, moreso than AO3. But I would suggest, despite myself, that you consider fanfiction.net. The Great Purge, kicking out all the works with adult material, is a few years past now, and probably the commenters around her age group are more focused there. It's a relatively benign to start.

In middle school I know I read Clan of the Cave Bear (I think) and Stephen King was REALLY popular and everyone was reading his books. I think IT was the one that got talked about the most.

And I read a lot of Flowers in the Attic and related things. Plus I would just roam around the public library and pull books at random. I read one book (I wish I remembered the title) about two sisters and a brother living in some kind of house and I think something happened to one of the sisters and the other didn't realize anyone was aging and stayed mentally a child. ANd there was incest.

Mom was pretty liberal about the movies she'd rent for us, although occasionally she'd bring home the wrong one. Like the time she meant to rent Empire of the Sun and came home with The Last Emperor. She didn't turn it off even when it was clear a threesome was going on but that wasn't what she expected.

Audition ~ma, ND!

Casper once thought that the penis had to stay in the vagina for the entire duration of the pregnancy, but she was 6 at the time. We have the really great kid-sex books, It's So Amazing (for the early elementary school set) and It's Perfectly Normal (for pre-teens). Also, lots of Nature documentaries. Sex - it's actually Science! In our house at the moment, anyway.
