you might be a Coloradoan if....

You're from Colorado if....
You'll eat ice cream in the winter- and what's wrong with that!!?? LOL! When the weather report says it's going to be 65 degrees, you shave your legs and wear a skirt. It snows 5 inches and you don't expect school to be cancelled. ('course this holds true for my home state as well!) You'll wear flip flops every day of the year, regardless of temperature. You have no accent at all, but can hear other people's. And then you make fun of them. 'Humid' is over 25%. You go anywhere else on the planet and the air feels 'sticky' and you notice the sky is no longer blue. Your sense of direction is: Toward the mountains (West) and Away from the mountains(East). You say 'the interstate' and everybody knows which one. You think that May is a totally normal month for a blizzard. You grew up planning your Halloween costumes around your coat. You know what the Continental Divide is. You don't think Coors beer is that big a deal. You've gone off-roading in a vehicle that was never intended for such activities (My poor Focus). You always know the elevation of where you are. You wake up to a beautiful, 80 degree day and you wonder if it's going to snow tomorrow. You don't care that some company renamed it, the Broncos still play at Mile High. Every movie theater has military and student discounts. Everybody wears jeans to church. You actually know that South Park is a real place not just a show on TV. You know what a 'trust fund hippy' is, and you know its natural habitat is Boulder. You know you're talking to a fellow Coloradoan when they call it Elitches, not Six Flags. A bear on your front porch doesn't bother you. When people out East tell you they have mountains in their state too, you just laugh
