(no subject)
Stolen from Ley.
Proof I'm still alive: a meme.
1. Go to Google and type, "You know you're from (your city or state) when..."
2. Cut and paste the list.
3. Bold the items that apply to you.
Walking for 10 full minutes without seeing a Tim Hortons causes you to panic.
Traveling to Halifax with the lone purpose of going to the mall is the subject of conversation for weeks after. And usually about a week prior. Not so much anymore.
You use the phrase "come with" in everyday speech. (Umm...can't say that I do, do I?)
The highlight of your day is telling people all about the bargains you got at the dollar store. If THAT is the highlight of my day I need to get a fucking life!
The highlight of your summer is the 5-minute firework show on Canada Day. Again, I would need a life if that was the case!
Someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there. I think I have done this in another store Lol
You measure distance in hours.
You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.
You carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them. & I do know how to use them, thank you very much!
You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow. This is unfortunately very, very true.
You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and road construction.
You use a down filled comforter in the summer. (well, a duvet, anyway)
You think of the major food groups as: Meat, Fish and Tim Horton's.
It takes three hours to go to the store for one item, even when you're in a hurry because you have to stop and talk to everybody in town. (Yeah, I'm my father's daughter.)
You speak fluent Frenglish. WTF is Frenglish?
You can taste the difference between Starbucks, Tim Horton's, and McDonalds coffee. If you can't, there's something wrong with you.
You know how to pronounce Tatamagouche, Musquodoboit, and Kejimkujik.
In winter, you go to work in the dark and come home in the dark while only working eight-hour days. YES! I totally do that.
You never go camping without waterproof matches and a poncho.
You switch to your sandals when it gets about 15.
You know people who use umbrellas are either wimps or tourists.
You buy new sunglasses every year, because you cannot find the old ones after such a long time.
Your teachers called you by your older siblings' names.
The closest mall is about an hour away. (Approximately)
You know what "hodge podge" is.
You like dulse.
You know that "brown bread" does not mean "whole wheat".
You still say you're from Nova Scotia, even if you haven't lived there since you left home.
You are always going up or down - "up the farm", "down the city", "up to mum's", "down home"
You always say you're "pretty good" or "can't complain" or "not too bad" when someone asks how you are, even if you're dying of a mortal flesh wound.
