Why is "Sex and The City" so damn good?

I love the writing from the show, here are a few of my favorite quotes;

That's the key to having it all: stop expecting it to look like what you thought it was going to look like. It's true of the fall lines, and it's true of relationships.

Sometimes you need a second opinion with doctors, real estate, men...

How does it happen that four such smart women have nothing to talk about but boyfriends? It's like seventh grade with bank account

No matter who broke your heart or how long it takes to heal, you'll never get through it without your friends.

The only thing I've ever successfully made in the kitchen is a mess. And several small fires.

Everywhere I looked, people were standing in twos. It was like Noah's upper West Side rent-controlled ark.

I've been dating since I was fifteen! I'm exhausted! Where is he?

I like my money right where I can see it: hanging in my closet

You're the loves of her life and a guy's just lucky to come in fourth..

When it comes to relationships, maybe we're all in glass houses, and shouldn't throw stones. Because you can never really know. Some people are settling down, some are settling and some people refuse to settle for anything less. Than butterflies...

After a while, you just want to be with the one that makes you laugh

I'm looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love. And I don't think that love is here in this expensive suite in this lovely hotel in Paris

and my favorite of all time..

Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.

Anyways, I bought the 5th season of Itunes yesterday and was watching the first couple of episodes. I forgot how much I loved the show and how clever the writing is. It also made me miss the girls <3 I am pretty damn lucky to have such good friends--friends who tell it like it is, love you for you, keep it classy, and most importantly--are once in a lifetime friends..or as Jamie says "forever friends." Te amo!

"Once in a while you meet someone, and soon you both discover the two of you are truly something special to each other... you share your thoughts and feelings so relaxed, so openly, and right away you know your friendship's truly meant to be."

This morning Will got home from Virginia--decked out in Obama gear. So funny :) He brought me back an Obama pin, that was really thoughtful. I made coffee and toast and we went over all his pictures from Washington, pretty amazing looking when it was all decked out for the inauguration. Although I supported McCain, and worry about Obama's lack of political experience, I think it is important to support the President. I am still reading his second book, "the audacity of hope" and i'm trying to have an open mind. My mom is sending me more books this weekend and I can't wait. I wonder how long it will take? The best part about not being in school anymore is having the time to read the books I prefer. I'm onto Voltaire next, I'm excited to finally read Candide.
