# Your co-worker tells you they have 8 body piercings but none are visible.

# You have a very strong opinion 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 know that anyone wearing pants in November is just visiting from Ohio.
# Your child's 3rd grade teacher has two pierced ears, a nose ring and is named "Breeze." And, after telling that to a friend, they still need to ask if the teacher is male or female.
# You are thinking of taking an adult class but you can't decide between yoga, aromatherapy, conversational Mandarin or one on building your own web site.
# You keep a list of companies to boycott.
# You occasionally see a guy on a unicycle whiz by you in your car and you say to yourself, "Oh yeah, it's that guy again..."
# You start to worry when you don't see the cross-dressing, bearded guy in-a-tutu-and-bikini-top-who-has-made-a-statement-with-his-grocery-cart-and-cardboard-box-art/shelter on your way to work in the morning. Scarier yet, you know his name is name is actually Leslie.
# You'll make dinner or bar plans around who's got the best margaritas.
# You have a tough time deciding on one of Austin's eight 24-hour resaraunts (Katz', Kerbey Lane, Star Seeds, Magnolia Cafe, IHOP, Denny's, the Kettle, or Jim's).
# You complain about their prices but still shop at Central Market/Whole Foods for the scene.
# You often find yourself wondering why magazine editors insist that swimsuit season starts on Memorial Day when it's really the end of February or at the latest, the beginning of March.
# You consider chips, salsa, Kerby Queso, and Shiner Bock beer a well balanced meal.
# 100 degrees for three straight months isn't unreasonable, 110 degrees is. And 90 degrees anywhere between May and September seems a little chilly.
# You figure skin cancer is inevitable b/c it's so DAMN HOT even your sunscreen won't stay on.
# When you go out, you make sure you've grabbed your water bottle before checking to see if you've got your wallet and keys.
# You don't mind parking a mile away as long as it's in the shade.
# You see more Texas flags flying than American flags.
