 1.  A Guide To My Posts by EmiTsuruta

   What order should my posts be read in.

   One of my readers left a comment asking if I could write a guide for my
posts that should be read in a sequence, so here it is.  I try to write my
posts so they can be read on their own, but maybe he's right that it could
be useful to read how I first met certain people, and how we changed as I
came to know them better.

   My sister Norika

   Some of my earliest posts were about my sister Norika, and how watching
her grow into an adult might have influenced me.  She was experimenting
shall we say with nudism or something before I was.  I don't know all the
details of her life, but I talk about her in A Bit More about Norika and
First Steps which happened before most of my other posts.  By the time of
My Neighbor's Pussy, she had a British boyfriend Evan who appears.  Norika
also shows up at the end of Our Local Sento.

   My Aunt Sachi, cousin Namie

   My mom's younger sister, Aunt Sachi was another big influence on me,
just because she's patient and understanding, maybe more-so than my mom.  I
first talked about her at the end of First Steps.  Sachi's daughter Namie
got married to a guy named Ryoichi.  I talk about them in Visiting my
Cousin Namie, and actually met Ryoichi in My Aunt's House by the Beach.

   My boyfriend Ryosuke, his friends, his host family

   Ryosuke was my boyfriend most of the time I was in Oceanview, so he
appears in a lot of my posts.  At the beginning, there were quite a few
posts about the two of us trying to find a place to be alone together.  For
people who want to know about my sex life, this is where you should look:

   In the Woods with my Boyfriend, On my University Campus, In Our Friend's
Apartment, The Two of Us Take a Trip and At a Public Swimming Pool.

   Ryosuke is friends with his cousin Asuna, my friend Satomi, and I know
his best friends Kenta and Futoshi, so there are a couple of posts about
the group of us: In Our Friend's Apartment and Dancing and Strip Poker with
Friends.

   Meeting My Parents is about Ryosuke coming from Tokyo down to Kanagawa
to meet my parents during one of our trips back to Japan.

   In Outdoor Barbecue, Ryosuke and I go down to the nude beach for the
first time, and then come back up.

   Sleep in the Raw is about me sleeping over at Ryosuke's huge home stay
mansion, and meeting the son Daniel.  Many of our friends and aquaintances
were there for the Bare as You Dare contest, but Ryosuke and Daniel were
two of them.

   Miori

   Miori is a cute Tokyo girl I first met in At a Japanese Summer Festival.
She is important to me in different ways.  For one thing, I've told her
almost everything about my mishaps and experiences.  She's probably more on
board for trying some of these things than practically anyone else.  She
came to my parents' house in Sleepovers in Japan, and came all the way to
Oceanview in Miori in America.

   Michiyo in Japan

   Michiyo was my best friend when I was in high school in Japan.  One time
I dragged her to Our Local Sento, and I went to stay at her parents' place
in Sleepovers in Japan.  Her family is pretty cool.

   Satomi's dorm, her dorm mates Takuya and Hiro

   Satomi became my new best friend after I moved to Oceanview.  She lives
in a dorm on campus, and a lot of my posts are set there.  I met her
American(?) dorm mates, Hector and Kevin in Toga Party, and then two
Japanese boys Takuya and Hiro in Locked Out.  Takuya and Hiro also feature
in Satomi's Dorm Mates, Bikini Shopping with the Boys and TV with Teddy. 
At first, Takuya and I were kind of at odds, but he grew on me over time. I
wondered how exactly I should be treating him.

   My home stay at Loretta's, Brandon, Hank

   The place I lived in Oceanview was a home stay at Loretta Hendrickson's,
a blonde single mom with two adult kids and a hot younger boyfriend Hank.
My Host Mom's Son Brandon introduces him, and he also appears in Birthday
Paddy Whacks and Teasing Brandon.

   My Host Mom's Boyfriend Hank is about him and me late one night in
Loretta's living room.  Drum Show is mostly about our drum circle and half
time show, but Hank was there to drive me.

   By the time of My Host Family, they have gotten so used to me, Loretta's
daughter Jennifer doesn't even notice when I'm naked.

   Asuna's condo and Craig

   Asuna was a girl I met in the ESL program at Oceanview U.  before I got
accepted into their undergrad.  She also happens to be Ryosuke's cousin
which was how I met him.  She lives in a condo near the beach sharing with
two American girls, Sandra and Maria.  Get Ready for Fireworks talks about
my first visit there, and meeting Sandra's boyfriend, Craig, my bête noire.
Well, OK, maybe he's not that bad, but he always seemed to be hanging
around trying to spy on me.  In Japanese Bottoms, he was there.  The
Peeping Tom was him.  He also pops up at the end of Naked at a Slumber
Party.

   The Party Boys: Gus, Margas, Sven

   I'm not so close with them, but they do tend to turn up at events I've
been to, and Ryosuke and I join them sometimes.  Gus, a tall midwesterner,
first popped up in My Friend Fujiko Moves to a Frat, one of her frat mates.
I first met Margas, an Afghani pick up artist, at the First Halloween
party. Gus and Margas were there for my Bare as You Dare debut, along with
Sven, their not-Swedish but blonde friend.  Sven organized for us to go in
At a Music Festival, and Gus drove us.

   Standalone posts

   Grandma's House in the Country is just about my grandma, my cousin
Jumpei, and a neighbor boy, Seiichirou, I was supposed to marry.

   Reiko's Backyard Pool is about a Japanese Issei woman I met at school
and her sons, daughter and husband.

   Swim Team is about Yoshi and the group of boys I used to 'manage' from
Kamakura coming to Oceanview to train.

   In Examined by Doctors, I went to the campus sports clinic and also a
hospital.  Nothing serious, but it was kind of embarrassing.

   In Swim Training, my friend Winston recommends I seek coaching from
handsome Dirk if I want to get onto Oceanview U.'s swim team.

   There are other parts to my story which I'll try to post when I can.
