From my mom.
You know you're 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, and PB stand for
You see weather forecasts for four different climate zones, all in the San
Diego County, and aren't remotely surprised.
You've gone to Mt. Helix in July and known you still need a jacket
You've tailgated at Qualcomm Stadium, and for bonus points, also tailgated
when it was Jack Murphy Stadium and you know you'll need a jacket or sweater
at night in the summer
You have a favorite- the Wild Animal Park 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 is
A famous skateboarder/surfer lives in your town
There's a North County, a South County, and an East County but no Central
County just "The City"
You know what it means when two guys are walking in Hillcrest
You know what it means when a girl in a short 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 know the difference between Clairemont Mesa, Kearny Mesa, Mira Mesa and
Serra Mesa
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 the 15
You know it's San Diegan, not San Diegoan, or San Diegoite
Everyone has their favorite beach
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 laugh when tourists are confused because they can't remember which place
they are trying to locate: Escondido, Encinitas or Ensenada . .. . they
just know it's one of those "E" words
You have family and or friends that have moved to Arizona
You used to, and sometimes still ride the carousel at Seaport Village
You know someone who apparently doesn't own a pair of long pants, and have a
neighbor who doesn't seem to own a shirt
You know what Santa Ana's are, and that they have literally nothing to do
with the city of Santa Ana
If the menu doesn't have California burritos on it, forget it, its not real
Mexican food
If you're NOT from San Diego.... That sucks
