    was here to see camera but shed a tear instead. people have this much fun in life? Where am I for these 23 years? I am sorry but I am feeling heartbroken. Every second of this video broke me. The amount of happiness oozing from this video is intolerable to me. I never had a moment like this in 23 years. Never felt this, probably never will. World is beautiful but without bondings it's colorless. I feel like Ayanami from " Evangelion "

    I went on a bit of a collecting spending spree and bought many different models last year, all mostly in great condition. I have still been yet to take one outside to record though because they're a bit bulky and also a bit worried about some getting water damaged in the unpredictable british weather. Going to do a full haul video at some point though surely
