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~

~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. For example, El Camino High School or Crawford High School~ (TRUE, but I think it works better if you know which school they actually live near, haha, because some of the ghetto people go the magnet school route. XP Not that it helped me 'cause my HS was just as ghetto as the HS I lived near, LOL.)

~You have a favorite- the WAP or the Zoo~ (Zoo, definitely!)

~You've been on a field trip to see an Imax movie at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center~ (OMG, flashback to elementary school! We watched a movie about Mt. Everest! XD)

~You still call it the Del Mar Fair~ (Seriously, renaming it was the stupidest thing ever.)

~You say "I'm going to the track" and people know what you mean~ (I never say that, but I do know what it means, so kind of, right? XP)

~You understand what May-Gray and June-Gloom is~

~A famous skateboarder/surfer lives in your town~

~"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 short skirt is walking on El Cajon Blvd~ (I know what it means, but I don't know if it's true...)

~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~ (Good thing I don't have to go there during rush hour. XP)

~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, and Mira Mesa~and maybe you remember Serra Mesa too~ (They're all around the same area though! XP)

~You've been delayed at the Border Checkpoints at the I-5 & the I-15~

~There are more bands than people~

~Your house doesn't have air conditioning~ (Parents bought an A/C for their room about a year or so ago, but I still don't think that counts since I'm never in there. XP)

~If the menu doesn't have California burritos on it, forget it, its not real Mexican food~ (LOL, even though California Burritos are one of the least Mexican foods ever, right there with Carne Asada Fries. XP)

When I saw your list, I was totally o_O about people using furniture to save parking spaces, LOL. (But I totally recognized some of your Southern California ones, even though they were mostly aimed at the LA area. XP)

Desperate measures I suppose. XD I'm pretty sure I remember dressers being out by the curb... though I don't know if it was worth dragging the thing out there. XD;; (:DDD Yay~)
