Colorado...

I LOVE this and I qualify for just about every one of these:)!

You're from Colorado if...

You'll eat ice cream in the winter.

When the weather report says it's going to be 65 degrees, you shave your legs and wear a skirt.

It snows 5 inches and you don't expect school to be cancelled.

You'll wear flip flops every day of the year, regardless of temperature.

You have no accent at all, but can hear other people's. And then you make
fun of them.

'Humid' is over 25%.

Your sense of direction is: Toward the mountains and Away from the
mountains.

You say 'the interstate' and everybody knows which one.

You think that May is a totally normal month for a blizzard.

You grew up planning your Halloween costumes around your coat.

You know what the Continental Divide is.

You don't think Coors beer is that big a deal.

You went to Casa Bonita as a kid.

You've gone off-roading in a vehicle that was never intended for such
activities.

You always know the elevation of where you are.

You wake up to a beautiful, 80 degree day and you wonder if it's going to
snow tomorrow.

You don't care that some company renamed it, the Broncos still play at Mile
High.

Every movie theater has military and student discounts.

Everybody wears jeans to church.

You actually know that South Park is a real place not just a show on TV.

You know what a 'trust fund hippy' is, and you know its natural habitat is
Boulder.

You know you're talking to a fellow Coloradoan when they call it Elitches,not Six Flags.

A bear on your front porch doesn't bother you.

Your two favorite teams are the Broncos and whoever is beating the crap out
of the Raiders.

You've been to the original Chipotle near the DU campus on Evans.

When people out East tell you they have mountains in their state too, you
just laugh.

You go anywhere else on the planet and the air feels 'sticky' and you
notice the sky is no longer blue.

...Yep pretty much:)!

You mean there are places where movie theaters dont have military and student discounts?

They don't have the discounts in IN... at least I don't know of any... of course, I would first have to actually GO to the movie theater to really know... :-)

I had to laugh at the list. I am not from CO (as you know) but I could still relate to some of the list... maybe that's because of all the years of visiting CO. I can always remember Jana and Eric talking about going to Elitches. I never knew it was actually Six Flags. ha ha

I have tried and tried to add a photo to my profile. This is a test to see if it worked. I don't know why this is difficult for me... :-)

Toevs said...

Nope, it didn't work. Oh well!

Just trying it one last time. :-)
