No Longer an East Coaster...
Oct. 18th, 2002 02:58 pmSigns 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...
