Signs you're no longer an east coaster:

- When it's under 70 out it's "fricking cold". I used to walk around in winter, when it was snowing, without a coat. Now I want a blanket if it's in the 60s.

- East coasters talk too fast! It's suddenly driving me crazy, I keep wanting to tell them to slow down. However, when I was doing nation-wide tech support years ago, they told me *I* talked too fast.

- People no longer start phone conversations with me with "So, what part of New York are you from?". I guess my accent is finally gone. Yay!

However, since I still use my turn signal in my car, I can't be a true west coaster yet...

Hahahah! Just you wait! Before long, you won't be using turn signals anymore /and/ you'll only do coasting stops at stop signs. The West will corrupt you yet!

...but only if you're deaf.

I'm not interested in eating dinner at 1:30 AM!

I have plans tonight though. Let's hook up sometime next week (at a normal time).

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I know you've been having a rough week. I apologize for being a jerkoff.

Drat, I knew I should have added the :) , but I think I use them too much so I left it off. No, you didn't seem like a jerk, I took it as you just fooling around.

No worries. :)

As a bona fide east coaster, I'll note /we/ don't use turn signals, either. So I guess you're just an alien.

Are you sure that's just a West Coast thing? That sounds like Chicago. ^_~

And all this time I thought it'd be my anal probe machine that gave me away...
