Excited?

I am waiting for the postman to deliver my new but second hand camera - I am soooo excited

Does anyone else get butterflies when you know that something photography related is coming in the post?

Always... for example there's currently an old flash meter winging its way to my sister for me (aint she kind)... I'm going out of my tree with excitement.

Oh yes! Once I have the gear it just becomes a tool that performs a function but there'd definitely a period of childish excitement from hitting the order button to stuff arriving. I think I have an inner child and inner geek rolled into one!

I must be jaded. They're just tools to me. I love buying stuff and getting to grips with new gear... but I don't get butterflies, no. Last thing I bought was a new lens, and I was out when it arrived. I couldn't be arsed collecting it for days, as I was busy.

As I say, they're tools to me as well. Butterflies might be the wrong word for me but there's a definite excitement. I get new gear or upgrade when I need to rather than when I feel like it so my new stuff generally comes every few years, as far as I'm concerned I have every right to be a bit excited!
