Your co-worker tells you he has eight body piercings - none are visible. You make well over $100,000 and you still can't find a nice place to live. You think anyone who drives a car to work is decadent. You keep a list of companies to boycott. You would never dream of crossing a picket line. You take the bus and are shocked at two people carrying on a conversation in English. You realize that there are far more rainbow flags in the city than Canadian flags. The guy who cuts your hair is straight, and your plumber is gay. The woman who delivers your mail is straight, and the Mary Kay lady is gay. Old friends you haven't talked to in years suddenly call. "Do you have a spare bedroom for a weekend?" You think anyone wearing a Preston Manning haircut is Preston Manning. You can't remember... Is pot still illegal? You go to your office manager's baby shower. The parents are named Judy & Becky. You give a "thumbs up" gesture to a car with a FREE TIBET bumper sticker and you mean it. You have a very strong opinion about where you coffee beans are grown, and are willing to fight about it. A really great parking spot can move you to tears. You know that anyone wearing shorts in June is just visiting from Winnipeg. A man walks down Robson in full leather regalia and crotchless chaps. You don't even notice. You curse those damn tourists - but always stop to help a cute person who is looking puzzled at a city map. Your child's 3rd grade teacher has a nose ring and is named "Breeze". You haven't been to a BC Lions game since the first month you moved to Vancouver. You are thinking about taking an adult education course, but you can't decide between a Yoga, Channeling or Building your Web Site class. Your new neighbours go to temple, but you are still not sure if they're Jewish or Buddist. You realize that the only Tories you know are your Aunt Sylvia and Uncle Spencer in Surrey.
