girls just wanna have fun

so i realized that i've not been doing much talking about the tv i've been watching (which probably isn't such a bad thing); the past couple of days have been full of tv shows and whatnot...last night it was over to elizabeth's for america's next top model, tonight at kat and carl's for survivor and the apprentice. to keep myself busy between mowing the lawn and printing out pictures on my mini photo printer, and to help myself stay up late (which probably is a bad thing) i found myself borrowing and watching season 2 of sex and the city from elizabeth.
prior to this marathon i've indulged myself in, i'd really only seen a meager handful of episodes of sex and the city. i've been a fan of sarah jessica parker since my childhood favorite, girl's just wanna have fun; i must say, seeing her "all grown up" and having orgasams is a little weird at first...however, i've taken to the show just as i did dawson's creek (yep, i'm a closet dawson's fan). there are actually some vague similarities between the two shows: relationship troubles, the pretty prudish brunette, all-white cast.
the second to last episode of the season was quite interesting. it was about the differences/challenges between twentysomething and thirtysomething women. how odd to be a twentysomething woman (girl, whatever) and watch this show from the perspective of a thirtysomething. not that i'm some hot single in the nyc dating scene, snatching up the a-list men; but it was intriguing to see it through those eyes. something i'm also curious about is whether it's the ny setting or the age that has these women going on SO many dates??? i'm sure it's just the fictional writing, but come on! i don't have any friends that go on dates. elizabeth and i were talking about this tonight. is it little rock? is it being a twentysomething? is it the water? even when i was "available", i never went on dates. and i certainly don't know anyone (except a particular ex) who regularly went on dates with a new aquaintence...how peculiar...
