You know you're in CALIFORNIA when...

[Breanne M]

I just gotta to represent us californians...

so... You know you're in california when...


You make over $300,000 a year and still can't afford a house.

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

You can't remember.....is pot illegal?

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

You know which restaurant serves the freshest arugula.

Gas costs $1.00 per gallon more than anywhere else in the U.S.

You can't remember.....is pot illegal?

Your car insurance costs as much as your house payment.

You pass an elementary school playground and the children are all busy with their cell phones or pagers.

You call 911 and they put you on hold.

You've been to a baby shower that has two mothers and a sperm donor.

You can't remember.....is pot illegal?

You realize the only Republicans you know are your aunt and uncle in Michigan.

Your hairdresser is straight, your plumber is gay, the woman who delivers your mail is into S&M, and your Mary Kay rep is a guy in drag.

You have an action movie star for a governor

The primary bugs that you worry about are electronic.

Your mouse has only one ball.

You go to a tanning salon before going to the beach.

Your cat has it's own psychiatrist.

I can't remember, is pot illegal?

An open freeway is only one mile of backed up cars.

High-speed car chases are a routine form of entertainment.

You are shocked when you see someone with their natural hair color.

[Lisa Perez]

You subconsciously start talking in Chinese or Filipino due to the large number of Asians living there

The building across the street from the Starbucks is...A Starbucks! And the building two stores down from the Starbucks is....A StarBucks! And every corner you see there is a StarBucks.

You actually find it faster to pay a guy to pull you around in a cart attached to his bike then it is to drive your car

You see people driving classic cars and the bodies are original and not all rotted out.

Seriously. I've slept through a few 7's without realizing they happened.

When you're watching an action movie on TV and realize that your governor is the star in it.
