So as I am sick again I went to the school doctor, which in itself, is exciting. All is fine and dandy, fill out a few forms etc and voila ...I'm in the doctor room, check up, clinic room things. You know that place...oh, examination room - yes, that's it. Anyways, so she checks out my throat which apparently is in very bad condition, her exact words are "inflamed, red, with white spots"...And I get a prescription. All is well until she asks me a few more questions, just to help fill out my medical history.
" What's your family medical history?" "Blah Blah Blah"
"Have you had any surgeries?" "Blah Blah"
" Are you sexually active?" "Cough, gasp" Sad look - "No"
"Have you ever been?" embarrassed look - "No"
Puzzled look from Doctor...And that's it.
I'm a virgin...At eighteen and that makes me a freak. I don't think the doctor believed me. I don't know if I would have believed me. And for some strange reason I'm embarrassed by this fact.
It doesn't really help that after the appointment I ranted to Erin, who decided it would be a good idea to scream in the middle of the student centre "SO WHAT YOU'VE NEVER HAD SEX"...More embarrassment.
Which leads me to a paradox - I'm glad I'm a virgin and I know I'm in the right but...I'm slightly ashamed of my virginity in face of a society where having sex is the biggest, best and most important thing ever.
***on a side note - the kids in that picture look 13! I bet they can't even spell abstinence***

I am proud of you. It may not be the "mainstream" thing to do now-a-days. But then again, we're talking about the mainstream who thinks that women should be wearing short skirts, small shirts and under 50lbs. Mainstream sucks.
Since I've gotten to know you, I've come to find you're one of the smartest people I know.
I hope your throat feels better.
They can spell sex, though. That's only 3 letters.
*rolls eyes*
Yes, I know, it was a bad comment, but it seems to be the truth nowadays. I swear, Alex is turning me more and more into a cynic.
*poke*
Update your blog silly goose ^_^
I agree. Update. Because we know how much I read your blog.
And I don't think there's anythingwrong with being a virgin....but then again,I was born in the wrong era. I'm pretty sure I belong in the 50s when the sexual mores were....different.
