Time For A Quote

I came across this quote the other day:

It’s odd when I think of the arc of my life, from child to young woman to aging adult. First I was who I was. Then I didn’t know who I was. Then I invented someone, and became her. Then I began to like what I’d invented. And finally I was what I was again.

Isn't it SO true?

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes

While we're on the subject of Sex and the City, this reminds me of one of my favorite episodes.  Holler if you know it offhand!

Going Back to My Roots

Remember when this blog used to have a ton of Sex and the City, Seinfeld, and Friends quotes?  Remember when this blog was updated fairly regularly?  Yeah, I know.

I thought I'd go back to the good old days.  I came across this one.  And I LOVE it.  It's definitely how I feel.

“I am someone who is  looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can’t-live-without-each-other love.”

Time for a Seinfeld Quote

According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.”

This weekend, there will be some Jaime public speaking.  If there's public documentation and it's not too horrible, I'll provide it afterward.  When I was younger, I would have TOTALLY freaked out about something like this.  Now, at this older, wiser, more confident place - I'm only quasi-freaking out.

Testing A Theory?

Carrie: You said you were a Stewardess?
Miranda: I was testing a theory.
Carrie: A theory being?
Miranda: That men are threatened by powerful jobs. They don't want a lawyer, they want...Aiden: A liar!
Miranda: I'm just saying as a lawyer, a partner no less, I got zero dates and as a stewardess, I got one for tomorrow night.
Carrie: I believe the correct term is flight attendant.
Miranda: Not if you wanna get laid.

I heard the other day on Eric & Kathy that there's some truth to this - that women who are in traditionally lucrative careers (such as doctors and lawyers) and single have quite a hard time getting dates because men are (sometimes even openly) intimidated by them.  


This makes me sad.  I hope this isn't true, or, at least, gets phased out soon.  Women - what have been your experiences?   Is it better to 'lie down' whilst trying to date man?  No, not in that way.  Get your mind out of the gutter.  Is the job for pun-writer on Sex and the City still available?

Boy Talk

Miranda said it well.  Whenever I talk to my girlfriends, the conversation usually goes in the direction of, for lack of a better way to put it, 'boy talk'.  Is this kind of conversation pretty much just what is interesting?  Why is that?  What other kind of talk is interesting?  Housework, laundry, mortgages?  I think not.  Gossip?  That is also interesting, but probably isn't any more respectable or intellectually stimulating.

A Sex in the City Quote to Break Up Some Monotony

Think about it. If you are single, after graduation there isn't one occasion where people celebrate you. ... Hallmark doesn't make a "congratulations, you didn't marry the wrong guy" card. And where's the flatware for going on vacation alone?

Sooooo true!!

A Sex in the City Quote....

...to lighten the mood, and to balance out all the Greg that's been on this blog.

Charlotte:  Sometimes when I'm running, I imagine what I would say to him if I ever saw him again.  I have the perfect opening line.  Do you wanna hear it?  I curse the day you were born.

***********************

I have a good friend who thinks "I curse the day you were born" is the perfect line for telling someone off. Your thoughts?  Has anyone ever told someone this?  

What is Normal?

I am not usually a 'quote' person.  But this one grabbed me.  The grammar error in this bothers me.  But otherwise.  There's a good point at heart.

My All-Time Favorite Sex and the City Quote

“Uh huh. Most women aren't angry, irrational psychos. We just want an ending to a relationship that... That is thoughtful and decent and honors what we had together. So my point, Billy, is this; There is a good way to break-up with someone, And it doesn't include a post-it!”- Carrie

There's definite truth to this.  Not just the post-it part.  That, and I know, firsthand, that I have been the angry, irrational psycho.  I think it's a sign of truly caring.  

Sex and the City Quote of the Day

“Think about it. If you are single, after graduation there isn’t one occasion where people celebrate you … Hallmark doesn’t make a “congratulations, you didn’t marry the wrong guy” card. And where’s the flatware for going on vacation alone?" -Carrie Bradshaw

 Amen.

Quote From an Email Forward

This quote applies to me a little TOO well....

Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do!

This is why I went private on Facebook.

Everything Happens for a Reason, Part 2

All this talk of 'everything happens for a reason' is reminding me of my favorite Sex and the City episode, EVER. The one where Carrie and Samantha smoke pot.

Carrie : People say 'Everything happens for a reason.' These people are usually women. And these women are usually sorting through a break-up. It seems that men can get out of a relationship without even a 'Goodbye,' But, apparently, women have to either get married or learn something.

Miranda: If I hadn’t accidentally gotten pregnant by Steve, I never would have had Brady.
Charlotte: Oh.
Miranda: I’m not finished. And had no time to eat.
So I never would have fit into my skinny jeans and realize this city is full of cute men.
Samantha: Now that’s my kind of thinking.

Blush...A Spade Was Called....

Quote from the book I'm reading:

"What did bother her about most blogs was their wistfulness.  No matter how self-effacing the bloggers were, they clearly believed themselves on some sort of world stage, where they just might be attended to."

Sigh.  

Quote

Sarah Palin, just now, on Greta Van Susteren's 'On the Record':

"Sure, I'm a feminist...whatever that means."

She later goes on to talk about the big ticket issue, abortion.

"Sure, we'd all like to see fewer abortions, and make more preventative measures available, uh...uh...."

Interesting comment Sarah.   Someone correct me if I'm wrong - Gov. Palin is for abstinence only education, right?  So what would those 'preventative measures' she's talking about be?  Abstinence?  Isn't that already 'available'?
