Gettin' My Life Together

Enjoying life and learning interesting shit along the way

You Are a Martini
There's no other way to say it: you're a total lush.
You hold your liquor well, and you hold a lot of it! What Mixed Drink Are You?

You Know You Were Raised in L.A. but Have Somehow Found Yourself in a Lesser City for the Purposes of Pursuing a College Education if:

1.In Middle school you kicked it at World on Wheels, the Fox Hills Mall, or Magic Johnson, don’t deny it!
2.You randomly see your friends in music videos, commercials, or t.v. shows all the time
3.You get homesick when you watch Baby Boy or the Wood because they pass by so much shit that’s right around the corner from your house.
4.You never saw niggas going stupid, heard niggas saying “hella”, or heard about sideshows until you got to college but people at school are always asking you about that shit like you should know
5.You used to play in the sandbox/go to school with/live around the corner from anyone who blew up despite the fact that they’re wack in real life (most commonly: Omarion, Eva Pigford, Chris Brown, etc.)
6.You hate it when you meet someone at school that claims they’re from L.A. only to find out later that they’re actually from the Valley
7.People at school say you talk white even though you’re from East L.A., Compton, Watts, Long Beach, the Crenshaw District, Hawthorne or Inglewood.
8.You don’t think you can make it another day without Roscoe’s, Del Taco, El Pollo Loco, Jack in the Box, or a fucking ice cream truck!
9.No offense but you even miss Mexicans …at the freeway exits selling oranges, cutting the grass, working the line at McDonalds, leaving their bad ass kids unattended all over the place, and that oh so lovely phrase “What’s up foo?”
10. You can only shake your head when you hear non-believers claim that they'd walk through a neighborhood with the wrong colors on and dare someone to say something to them and pray they don’t attempt it
11. You keep wondering why everyone keeps talking about how grimy their city is when you know there's nothing better than being FRESH to death!
12. You don’t understand what the big deal about earthquakes is because 95% of the time you don’t even feel them.
13. Females: you are desperately searching for a nigga with a fade, his natural teeth, and some fresh kicks (not called sneakers) that blind you like that Cali sun you miss back home.
14. Females: you wanna say “Fuck this Northface and give me a wife beater anyday”
15. Males: You love all the extra attention you’re getting from the females at school just because you’re from Cali… Message
