1. You think its normal that the Postal system, the trams, the trains and Telstra are all privately run. Well no one's really sure who runs Telstra..maybe the Wizard of Oz. 2. You would rather move your wedding day than have it ON the day of the AFL Grand Final (Go Hawks!). 3. mX is a way of life. 4. Timtams are a separate food group. 5. Barbies aren't toys, they're a national identity. 6. You can get italian, greek, indian, thai, lebanese and continental - all on the same street. 7. Despite the fact that EVERYTHING closes at 5 freaking pm except the Crown freaking Casino (where you have to dress up anyway to get in), there are still a million people out on the streets at 1am. 8. There are more non-Aussies than Aussies in your suburb. 9. You think its normal to wear sneakers to work with the "train coat", change into heels and the actual coat, then change your entire outfit again for gym in 7 hours time, and then go home and put on a dress and your party shoes for drinks. (Add 2 more changes if you cycle to work or arrive on a motorbike in your biking gear). 10. It is normal to use an umbrella, a sun hat and a sweatshirt on the same day. 11. You can get away with wearing anything at all, in any combination. 12. You routinely pass the Indian cricket team in the city. 13. The MCG is just a building on the way to work. 14. Tattoos are as common as ear piercings. 15. Purple is just another colour to dye your hair. Ditto for lime green. 16. The cafe for your morning fix has been the same for the last 5 years. 17. You actually recognize half the people you get on the train with - coz you've been riding the train with them for years. 18. Cash? What's that? Can I use my Flybuys? 19. When the wind blows, its "fine". When it gets bearable at 25, its "getting too hot". Don't even get me started on the winters. 20. Electricity cuts happen a few times in your life. 21. Preggie women are God. Esp on connex. 22. Cable and Foxtel are a luxury. 23. You wear sunnies inside a train, inside a mall and yes, even in your backyard. 24. Macs are as common as PCs - my fav :) 25. You pay more on your internet bill than all your other bills combined. Esp if you intend to actually download a freaking movie. 26. Only foreigners order Foster's. We all know VB rocks. Can't think of any more. Soon.
