Sex and the Coincidence


I was watching Sex and the City and I usually love Carries commentary and the girls' adventures. Usually the banter and lives they lead are exciting but not necessarily my idea of my life. I don't plan on dating half of Manhattan, I sure would love to live there though.
I heard a quote from one of the episodes "Ex and the City" and I liked it. It was talking about how Carrie was devastated over seeing her ex "Big" getting married to this younger, twiggy looking girl. She is wondering what it is! Why did this happen? Why do I feel this way? Around the table sharing cosmopolitans (their drink of choice) the girls declare "Hubble" "Hubble!" Samantha doesn't know what the hell "Hubble" is (or rather WHO he is). It is explained that he is a character from the movie "The Way we Were". The man, Hubble, breaks up with his girlfriend and gets married and after all is said and done, he meets up with Katie again. She tells him his girl is nice and leaves "the way they were".
I won't account for were the coincidence lies because that is not that point. The quote at the end of the episode made it for me though.

Carrie: "Ladies, I'm having an epiphany. The world is made up of two types of women. The simple girls and the Katie girls. I'm a Katie girl." Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they're supposed to run wild until they find someone -- just as wild -- to run with.
