hpv

my grandpa just called me, first to ask me if i'd updated my computer, and then to ask me if i'd gotten the cervical cancer vaccine. that question, of course, led him to make a statement about how he doesn't actually know what my sexual history is, but he hopes that it's limited enough for the vaccine to be effective. sometimes, i can't believe the things i've had to talk to my grandfather about. he has weekly lunches with every doctor i have ever had (with the exception of my fabulous dermatologist, who is the only doctor i've ever sought out on my own and who i dare say is actually my absolute favorite), and i'm almost positive that they violate doctor-patient priviledge at those lunches. the only other way my grandpa could possibly find out so much about my personal life is if my mom told him everything (which is not exactly out of the question). i guess the point is that while i'm really grateful to have a super close family, sometimes there are things i want to keep outside the family circle. things such as birth control and sex.

i'm also a little peeved about it because when he called, i was actually writing something, which i haven't done in around five thousand years. granted, it wasn't a very good something, but i was doing it, and that's what important. now, i can't concentrate on it because i'm all awked out about having to skirt the virginity issue with my grandfather.
