You know you are in California when...

Yes, i hate forwards too, but being the California girl that i am, i thought this was funny (too bad if you've seen it). And i STILL don't wear socks and I'm in the Midwest now! :P

You know you are in California when:

you make over $250,000 and still can’t afford a house

you take a bus and are shocked at two people carrying on a conversation in English

your child’s 3rd grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, and is named Breeze

you have a very strong opinion on where your coffee beans are grown and can taste the difference between Sumatran and Ethiopian

a really great parking space can move you to tears

you have to leave the big company meeting early because Billy Blanks himself is teaching the 4pm Tae Bo class

your paper boy has a two-picture deal

the weatherman talks about the weather in other parts of the country, as if we really care!

How do you know you are at a formal dinner party in California? The guests are wearing socks.
