So I would like to thank my new "addiction" (facebook)for providing me with today's blog fodder...and Laura Schnake, who belongs to the group from which I stole this.
You know you are from Springfield, Illinois when:
~You could give a Lincoln tour since you were 12
~You know what a horseshoe/pony shoe is
~You have gone to a LHS/SSEHS/SHS basketball game just to be cute
~The Illinois State Fair makes your life worth living for 10 stright days
~You have hung out at Wal-Mart. Alot.
~You know that Springfield is home and birthplace of the greatest rivalry ever: Cubs vs. Cardinals
~You didn’t swim in the lake all summer because of leptospirosis
~You know what leptospirosis is
~You know the 12 Pains of Christmas
~You DO NOT go to Douglas Park
~You are accustomed to everything closing at 9
~You can identify what part of Illinois someone is from because you don’t have an accent
~You make a point to not rub Lincoln’s nose
~You have at least one thing with 103.7 WDBR on it
~You remember “Da Bomb”, Assylum, and Eclipse
~You know what the PCCC is
~You know and love the pink elephant

ME LOVE ME SOME HORSESHOES!
But it has to be hamburger, not the gross ones like ham and shrimp.
And the cheese goes down first and then the french fries on very top.
THAT SERIOUSLY MATTERS!

I like the ham horseshoes!
Seriously this list has to be post-1994 cause there's at least 3 that don't apply to those living there pre-94.
Unfortunately Springfield people do have accents- kinda southern in the twang. They believe they don't have accents but they really do. Have you heard my aunts or cousins talk?
Is it a sign that I may be in too many groups on facebook when I saw this and asked, "what group is THIS from?" and immediately hopped to facebook to find out. The newness of facebook takes awhile to wear off, but it will eventually, and maybe one day you will be able to go several hours without checking it again.
