Hoy por casualidad he entrado en una página (presupongo que americana) con una curiosa lista. Se trata de una de esas que enumeran detalles que te caracterizan si te denominas tal o cual. En fin, en este caso se trataba de cosas que caracterizaban a una persona que hubiera crecido durante los 80. Y a pesar de la distancia geográfica, es curiosísimo observar la de cosas con las que yo misma me identifico bastante, o al menos me suena. Allá voy (algunas son secretos mortales, no repetir en presencia de extraños, HE AVISADO):1. You have seen at least 10 episodes of Fraggle Rock. [y me encantaba - me acuerdo aún de la canción]

19. You yearned to be a member of The Babysitters Club, and tried to start a club of your own.
