I might have added that I'm 16 years old...oops
I've since done research on the possibility of desensitization from a vibrator. I found a few sites in particular that were especially helpful.
Go Ask Alice!...is a health Q&A site sponsored by Columbia University. They don't report any evidence of desensitization occurring through the use of a vibrator or other sex toy.
A direct quote from the article..

...the idea that frequent and regular masturbation causes desensitization or numbness of the clitoris, preventing women from orgasming during intercourse, is false. In fact, masturbation, with or without the aid of a sex toy, helps women increase their clitoral sensations, improving the quality of their orgasms.

Here is an article from
Divine Caroline, an informational site for women.
They state basically the same information as my first source - that there have not been any findings to suggest that the use of a vibrator causes desensitization.

Using a vibrator will not cause you to lose sensations in your erogenous zones. Regardless if you masturbate or use your vibrator every day, you will not be desensitized from it. Depending on the power of your vibrator, the length of time you used your vibrator, or the size of your vibrator, you may feel a little sore or maybe even numb. However, this feeling is only temporary, and will not have any issues later on. Research also shows that there are no desensitizing affects from long-term use of a vibrator.

There are many sites that state the same thing - these are just two that I found to be particularly useful. It really does make sense, logically, that a woman would begin to lose sensation after long term use of a vibrator. Apparently not, according to research. At most, it looks like one might become temporarily numb - but that's about it. These articles really helped put my mind to rest. Hope this helps for anyone who was worried about the same thing.
Thanks for replying everyone - good to know I'm "normal"
