cute
contrary to my journal, its october 1st!
yay
You know you live in Florida when ...
You spend more time on your roof than in your living room. (ive never been on my roof actually.. id need a ladder for that)
School starts in August and finishes in July.
You know the plot to Groundhog Day and haven't even seen the movie.
There's a "No Wake" sign posted at the end of your driveway. (?)
Having a tree in the living room does not necessarily mean it's Christmas.
You consider plywood a window treatment. (hah)
You know which weathercasters are pregnant.
The term "huge fan" has nothing to do with sports.
You won't trade cars until you've tried to guess which tree to park your lemon under for the next hurricane.
You've been laughed at over the phone by a roofer, fence builder or tree-service worker.
You actually like talking to your insurance agent.
Toilet paper is elevated to coin of the realm at shelters.
Your swimming pool experiences tides. (mine does, ill tell you that)
A hurricane with wind hits you harder than a hurricane with alcohol.
You know the difference between the "good side" of a storm and the "bad side." (its the differenc ebetween whether or not i can go out)
Suspended tolls are a highlight of your life.
A battery-powered TV is considered an entertainment center.
5-year-olds know the difference between a Category 2 and Category 3 storm.
You find the hum of a generator erotic. (disturbing? yes.)
You can't swim because your pool is full of patio furniture. (that has actually happend before :] )
You actually have seen pigs fly. (hallucination?)
You own seven or more of the following: a generator, a power inverter, a weather radio, a battery-powered TV, a battery-powered fan, battery-powered lanterns, a 5-gallon gasoline can, several tarps, a chain saw, a pole saw and a rain suit. (hidden away in the garage, yes)
Your parrot can say "Hunker down."
You don't worry about relatives wanting to visit during the summer.
You miss the days when the only topics that put Florida in the national news were flawed elections and drug kingpins. (hah)
Children associate huffing and puffing to blow a house down not with a Big Bad Wolf, but with a hurricane. :]
You know exactly how long two bags of ice will last in your cooler. (bout 45 minutes if youre outside, 2 inside)
You go to work early and stay late just to enjoy the air conditioning.
Your hurricane parties keep getting canceled because of hurricanes.
Even as an adult, sundown means time for bed. (sundown is at 8.. but its never really dark till 9)
You discover that you can get sunburned through your car window. (i dont sunburn, but i imagine its very well possible)
You actually burn your hand opening the car door. (alot)
You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.
You can make suntea instantly.
The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron! (sea belts are a bitch)
You own at least five pairs of flip flops(theyre all i wear)
You know someone who's been struck by lightning
You're more scared of the freaks who live down the street than gators
Your backyard is sometimes a swamp (i live on a swamp)
You're officially sick of Disney
You shrug off hurricane warnings
You've been permanently blinded by fat men in speedos (ew.. &all too true)
There are only two seasons - hot and hotter
You've drank a flaming alligator.
yay
