I came across this list a couple years ago and every once in a while it pops up in an email or on MySpace so I thought I'd post it here for fun :) I love this list because every SINGLE thing on this list, I can relate to. Seriously. Every single one. I had to comment on a few of them hehe.
You know you are from San Diego if...

- You know what MB, OB, and PB stand for
