So, this is technically a meme, but I liked ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gingerdc9's results so much I'm just copying them. :)
They're so true! I can honestly relate to most of these and don't find it strange!
Go to Google. Enter You Know you live in [insert state] when and copy the answers.
I'm bolding the ones that are true for Northern Virginia.
I'll have to do a Virginia Beach one, too, 'cause it's so different than it was living up North. Such as, everyone goes at least 5 mph *under* the speed limit down here. You can imagine how I was tearing my hair out over that one when I first moved down here.
1. Speed limits are just suggestions
2. You take a major highway to school (95, 66,28, etc)
3. You constantly complain about there being nothing to do, even though you are right next to DC
4. You have at least 2 friends who have no idea what their parents do because its "top secret" government work
5. 50% of your senior class plans on going either to Mason, JMU, Tech or UVA
6. When people ask where you're from, you tell them DC because its easier to explain
7. You've never told someone you're from Virginia without putting "northern" in front of it
8. When you and your friends get bored you all whip out your cell phones and start playing with them
9. Its not actually tailgating unless your bumper is touching the car in front of you.
10. A yellow light means at least 5 more cars can get through.
11. A red light means 2 more can.
12. It takes you 30 minutes to drive 10 miles
13. Your local news is national news
14. If you hear the word "sniper" one more time you're going to slap someone
15. You actually know what the black boxes at stoplights are for
16. Even if your high school is only a year old, its already overcrowded
17. You have over 500 students in your graduating class
18. Despite the fact that Virginia fought for the south in the Civil War, you are NOT, under ANY circumstances, a "southerner"
19. You are friends with people from at least 2 other high schools
20. You know at least 2 people who drive a mercedes, BMW, Lexus, etc.
