Coldplay, "Clocks"

late late late on a Sunday evening, I should be sleeping with the nutty day I have ahead of me, but instead I'm whiling away the time on my beloved blog, "Jump Into My Life." <3. color="#ffff00">You know you're from Saint John when...
1. You see nothing wrong with one family owning 90% of the city.
2. You see crazy people as funny and entertaining instead of scary and frightening.
3. You remember all the previous names for the bars downtown.
4. You're a fan of Elsie Wayne and have seen her dance at hockey games.
5. You made fun of Harbour Station's name when it first came out but now you like it.
6. You've gotten used to the "Saint John " plastic eyesore that greets you when you come in to the city.
7. The Loyalist man billboard doesn't make you want to turn around and go somewhere else.
8. You believe O'Leary's is the greatest pub in the universe.
9. Apparantly isn't a real number.
10. All your friends have worked in a call-centre at one time or another.
11. You parents let you actually go to the Ex even though none of the staff looked capable of operating a toaster, let alone a complicated piece of machinery
12. You refer to McAllister Place as "the mall" since every other mall in Saint John pretty much blows.
13. You remember heated rivalries between St. Macs and Saint John High even though you had about the same number of friends in both no matter what high school you went to.
14. You've spent many a Thursday night at the AQ even though you hated that fat radio guy host.
15. You don't think the West side smells that bad.
16. You have an oil refinery in your back yard but still pay more for gas then most of Canada.
17. You're pretty sure you know the location of at least one downtown crackhouse.
18. You're not freaked out by having an 19th century graveyard right in the middle of the uptown area, and actually use it as a place to relax.
19. You prefer to drive in a snowstorm, because at least then, all the effing pot holes are filled in.
20. You've spent many summer Wednesdays on the boardwalk at Saint John Idol but have seen more teens fight than you've heard people sing. (Submitted by Mariel.)
21. You spend cruise ship days being stared at by tourists, begged for directions and plugging your nose. (Submitted by Mariel.)
22. Before they got rid of it, hearing the foghorn on Partridge Island was completely normal, a reassuring sound you heard every night before falling asleep. (Submitted by me.)
23. You laugh at tourists when they get thrown into the ocean while trying to dance with the waves as the tail of a hurricane hits the coast. (Submitted by me.)
24. You think dulse is sexy as hell. (Submitted by me.)

25. When it is not a big deal to drive through fog so thick that you can't see where you are going or if you are going hit something or someone. (Submitted by my mom.)
