taking the plunge...finally
I was talking to a friend over christmas (she will know who she is when she reads this), and she brought up the subject/fear of being a 21 year old virgin. And thinking about it now…in our society it’s a big deal. I mean really – by that time, most guys are not virgins, and they expect certain things…it is really intimidating if you don’t have a clue what to do/expect. I for one am not at all experienced in that department…and frankly I have a major fear of male body parts. I’m going to hope it’s a fear that won’t last, and that if I just get over it I can move on with things.
But back to the whole 21 year old virgin thing. It seems to me that nowadays “saving yourself for marriage” is the rarity. It seems to be becoming something of the past. And really I don’t think there is anything wrong with it, as long as you think it is the right person and *the right time*, and if you are willing to deal with the consequences (whatever they may be).
Ok, well this is starting to fizzle out, and really I thought I was going somewhere with it, but apparently I can’t think right now.
However, I have some…I guess interesting news. I went to the derm today, and took the plunge, I am talking accutane (starting tomorrow). I have to fast for 12 hours (overnight), and then get a blood and (standard) pregnancy test tomorrow, and then I will start taking it tomorrow night (although there is something a little confusing in the info pamphlet thing, if any of you know it would be appreciated! It says that you are supposed to wait until the start of your next period and after 2 pregnacy tests…but I (and the pharmacist agreed) figured that that is only if you are sexually active. So if any of you know for sure, plz let me know!)
Anyway that is all.
