I figured I'd start a new thread, rather than piggybacking on mkp's thread, to talk about where we started. A few people have chimed in with some of their early experiences, and it might be a really helpful read for folks that are newer to the scene and not sure if what they're going through is "normal" (whatever that is,) or not.

So, where did you start? How did you come around to finding what flips your switch (pun intended)?
