My brother is awful with that kind of stuff. He still gets lost in that mall from Mall Cop. It's kinda sad because that mall is really small.

I don't even go to WHS and I know it almost like the back of my hand! xD
...and the Burlingon mall is HUGE. what are you talking about? lmao i know my way around it anyway. and i barely even go there...

You know you've been ON (not IN) Long Island too long when you count anything north/west of Manhattan as "upstate".

As for my region, you know you've been [competing] in E.L.I. too long when you know the conspiracy theories that circulate about Gelinas.

Well, i suppose with the addition it is larger than before. I still think square 1 is bigger. Burlington is just like 1 line across with little things sticking out of it.

You know you've been in Tennessee too long when you sing Rocky Top instead of the National Anthem.

You know you've been in Long Island too long when you hear someone say "the city" and you automatically assume they mean "New York City", because NYC is THE city.

i know this isn't a state/region/city but i have to add it

you know your obsessed with SO when
  • you call yourself soobsession
  • you prepare for an event one year in advance
  • you hear "outcome" and think "overall place"
  • you mutter science terms in your sleep, in class, at lunch, and to your invisible friend bob
(ive accomplished 2/4 of those things)
  • when you dream of going to nats
  • when your friends have to dare you to not talk about SO for a day
:D
