you know you're a southern california girl when:

1. you have a permanent flip flop tan line
2. 84 degrees is hot!
3. freeway numbers always begin with the. ‘the’ 405, ‘the’ 5, ‘the’ 101. no more jus’ plain ol’ ‘7’
4. you have faced near evacuation due to wildfires, and delayed planes due to earthquakes
5. your driver’s license is too flimsy to pick a lock
6. you can build your base tan while shopping at the local mall
7. there is a one minute time limit on staying in the same lane while driving on the freeway
8. during 'orange' season, you can choose from 10,246 varieties
9. you have more swimsuits than business suits
10. weekends mean your bike gets more miles than your car
11. disneyland is a friday night activity not a vacation destination*
12. paying for car insurance means taking a second job
13. you don't ever, ever, never close your windows
14. the speed limit is either an impossible dream or a helpful suggestion

*okay, so i haven't actually been to disneyland yet, but this is true for 90% of the southern cal girls i know!
