You know you're from California when...

Going to college out of state makes me find stuff like the following very inside-joke hilarious. XD

Yup, that's California all right. XD;; And people I know from SoCal argue all the time with people I know who are NorCal about how cool or not the word "hella" is. It's interesting how even within the state people can be so divided. :p

(You see, *I* use the word "hella" sometimes, and I didn't realize until recently that it marks me as a point-blank Norcal-ian. XD) I still remember a teacher once was telling us how Socal gets all their water from us, and we could seriously secede from them except for 1) they've got more people, and a while afterward I mentioned that to someone else and they said 2) that's where the labor for anything not in a computer comes from XD;;

It's actually insane how much people like to argue over the word "hella". I have a coworker who came from SoCal and he insists that hella use to be a SoCal word and that the NorCal people picked it up. o_o I frankly, have no idea. ^^;; Still, I prefer NorCal myself. SoCal is too warm for my taste. :p

*pops in randomly* Yes, that is California, the only thing I'm struck by is the last one. 'Pagers'...I thought those were a 90s thing? What kid these days would know about a pager? :P

[tomoyoichijouji]

Pagers -- yeah, you've got a point there. XD But replace that with iPod and it's all up-to-date. :P
