You Know Your a Los Angelenos when... You know that Hollywood is a real place, and no one wants to go there. You refer to freeways by their numbers. Your sense of direction is: Toward the beach and away from The Valley, by the 101 and the 10. You know that planning something outdoors in January/ February is just asking for rain. When it sprinkles, you know it will be covered on every news channel as 'Storm Watch'. When buying flowers you go to the Flower District instead of calling a 1-800 number. You know what a Mission is. You always include your city when giving your address, and your area code when giving your number.
You think its 'freezing' when you have to remember to wear a coat and long sleeves. Boots are not practical they are a fashion statement. Know that the 'Santa Ana's' and 'Earthquakes' are also types of weather. Are not surprised when you pass multiple uprooted trees in December. Know that it can be 80 degrees anytime of year. Your winter activities include going to the beach. You think of anything hanging from the ceilings or walls as Earthquake Hazards. You hear 'Big Bear' & 'Mammoth' and think of snow before animals. You know that it does snow in California.
Going to Disneyland and Universal Studios is back up plan for any dull weekend. If people from other states tell you their city is diverse too, you laugh. When you hear a house is selling just below $1 Million you say, not bad! When someone asks you how long it will take to get there, before you answer you ask them what time of day they will be going. You laugh when you drive by the crowds of people lining up at movie premiers with cameras. You know that when your in 90210 doesn't mean rich or on TV. Have seen a real 'hippy'. You can spot a Los Angeles landmark in most movies, even when they are portrayed as being somewhere else. You think smog makes the most beautiful sunsets.
