For all of you LA transplants who have caught yourself saying the words "Only in LA", you are not alone. Here are the things that I have found amusing about life in LA.
You know you live in L.A when...
Its 85 degrees in March and there are more people driving than when the weather is bad.
A 30% chance of rain makes headline news, right below the story about which celebrity has ended up in jail.
People are doing the electric slide to rap music on roller skates at the beach and no one finds this at all out of the ordinary.
Freeway numbers are preceded by "the," and you know this because the freeway entrance is in your back yard.
You are surprised if you hear less than 5 languages spoken over the course of a day, and often more surprised if one of them is English.
There is a donut shop on every corner, directly next to a gym with an escalator out front.
LAX is an airport and not a method for relieving constipation.
You use MapQuest to look up directions to neighborhoods that you have never heard of at least once a month, then laugh at the estimated travel time that MapQuest provides.
Your sunglasses are twice the size of your dog, which you carry around in a handbag.
The rent of your 120 square foot studio apartment is twice as high as your first mortgage.
