San Diego stuff
You know you are from San Diego when....
Your high school had a surf team.
You can correctly pronounce Tierrasanta, La Jolla, Rancho Penasquitos,
San Ysidro, Otay Mesa, Jamacha, Jamul, Cuyamaca, and El Cajon
There are four distinct seasons: Summer, Not Quite Summer, Almost
Summer, and Oh Hey! Look Its Summer Again
Chula-juana is a real town.
Your house is worth more than some small countries.
You know what MB, OB, IB and PB stand for.
Every street name is either in Spanish or Spanish related, and you're
surprised when other areas don't have this.
You can determine the accuracy of someone's "I'm ghetto" claim by
knowing their high school. I.e.: El Camino High School or Crawford
High School.
You see weather forecasts for four different climate zones in the same
county, and aren't remotely surprised. Ah, The Micro Climate Weather.
You've gone to Mt. Soledad in July and know you still need a jacket.
You've tailgated at Qualcomm Stadium, and for a bonus point, also
tailgated when it was Jack Murphy Stadium.
You have a favorite- the WAP or the Zoo
You've seen an Imax movie at the Reuben H. Fleet
Science Center
You still call it the Del Mar Fair
You say "I'm going to the track" and people know what you mean
You understand what May-Gray and June-Gloom are.
A famous skateboarder or surfer lives in your town
You have no problem determining where North County, South Bay, and East
County begin, but have no idea if or where Central County or West
anything is.
"Mossy Nissan! Mossy Nissan! Mossy Nissan Moves You!"
You know what it means when two guys are walking in Hillcrest.
You know what it means when a girl in a skirt is walking on El Cajon
Blvd.
You've gotten stuck in the Horton Plaza parking structure traffic after
a Padres game.
You know what "The Merge" is, and will plan your entire day around not
being on it during rush hour.
You've been to Belmont Park.
You've taken the Coaster and laughed at people sitting in traffic on
the 5.
You call it "The 5" and the "The 805" as if they were important
landmarks.
You know the difference between Clairemont Mesa, Kearny Mesa, and Mira
Mesa and maybe you remember Serra Mesa too.
You've gone to Sea World on a warm day and sat in the first few rows at
the Shamu Show to get cooled off.
You've been delayed at the Border Checkpoints on the 5 and the15.
There are more bands than people in Ocean Beach.
Your house doesn't have air conditioning
You know it's San Diegan, not San Diegoan, or San Diegoite.
Everyone has their favorite beach, and no two are the same.
No matter what the weather is, there is always someone walking around
in a t-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops
You live on, near or are surrounded by hills.
You hate tourists and their bad driving. GET OFF THE ROAD NORTH DAKOTA,
NOBODY WANTS YOU HERE. SERIOUSLY, GO HOME!!!
You have family and or friends that have moved to Arizona
You used to, and sometimes still do, ride the carousel at Seaport
Village
You know someone who doesn't own pants, and have a neighbor who doesn't
seem to own a shirt.
You know what Santa Ana's are and that they have nothing to do with the
city of Santa Ana.
If the menu doesn't have California burritos on it, forget it, its not
authentic Mexican Food.
And if you're NOT from San Diego, well, that's too bad. Lo Siento!
