Miranda After All

After seeing the Sex and the City movie (which was better than I had expected) I was reminded that in the Sex in the City universe I am a Miranda. I say this feeling wholeheartedly that Miranda is the least cool of the 4 Sex ladies, but there it is.

For me Carrie is too style over substance, Charlotte is too proper and naive, and Samantha is (let's face it) too whorish for me. Sure Miranda has her faults, but when she was a single, independent career woman in a big city - so was I. We did dumb things but at least we knew we were doing them (or pretended too after the fact), and tried not to repeat them. We both ended up leaving the big city we loved to get married with children and don't regret it for a second.

Ideally I would have seen this film with my LA girlfriends who really knew and know what it's like to be a single woman in a big city. Sorry, but if you were married or were with the person you married before you graduated college, you've never really been single in my book. It can get ugly being a lone wolf in a huge metropolis, but I wouldn't take back those years for anything - mostly because of the memories I have of hanging out with my girlfriends, swapping stories, cracking each other up, and being there for each other when there was no one to snuggle with at home.

Sex and the City the series was a great friend to the single girl and Sex and the City the movie was a nice reminder that while some of us ladies will always be single and loving it - it's ok to leave singledom and the city if that's where your happiness lies. If you'd like to know which one of the Sex and the City ladies you are most like take this quiz. According to this quiz I am 50% Miranda, 40% Charlotte, 10% Samantha, and 0% Carrie.
