You know you live in California when you're walking down the sidewalk and a guy wearing a foot-tall red and white striped "Cat In The Hat" hat and a white robe goes rolling past you on rollerblades with 8-inch wheels, playing an electric guitar through a battery-powered amplifier strapped to his back, and you think to yourself - "well sure, why not?"

Fuck yeah, venice beach ROCKS

I am a native Californian and I am sure this applies to other places too with heavy traffic but..."You know you live in California when you measure how far away something is not in miles but in time it takes to get somewhere"..ha ha

I am not a Californian, but I have been there. This is what stuck in my mind.

You know you live in California when you can drive for 8 hours in one general direction, and not feel like you've left town.

(from a person that can get out into the country, as in REAL rural country, from any metropolis within a couple hundred miles, within an hour or less....usually much less)

On my first visit, almost 30 years ago, I knew it sure as HELL wasn't Kansas!

(I hated it)

Not that I like Kansas any better mind you...

When you live in California there's no such thing as "just an earthquake"

I suppose it depends on where you were at when the quake hit, but lemme tell ya, it was no small thing in my life.

I could say much more about California. I was born and raised there. Most of my family lives there.

You know you live in California when you don't have room to turn and scratch your own ass! Too many people! I'd say more but I don't want to offend... so THE END

you know you live in california when you don't hang any pictures over your bed.

less risk of being beaned on the head that way.

You know you live in California when one of your favourite pastimes is to try and convince friends visiting from out of state that it's "earthquake season".

Fellow survivor, here! You feel a little rumble and dive under the desk/table/whatever before realizing it's the shipping guys wheeling something big down the hall.

LOL One night, there was an earthquake about 3am & Mr. Cat & I both woke up & glared at each other for being too rambunctious. Then I realized what it was & rolled over & went back to sleep. The next morning, there was another one while I was riding the bus to work. I just thought that people were getting on or off the bus. Then I realized that we were stopped at a light.

Imagine my surprise when I got to work & all these people kept complaining about not getting enough sleep. I had completely forgotten the earthquake & was shocked to find out that people will lie there awake after one in the middle of the night!!

I be a native, but after Loma Prieta and Northdridge, I'm a little gun shy.

But I will make bets on the Richter Scale.
