1. I have no real rational reason to enjoy it but it is some like nostalgic
childlike joy in going to the mailbox with wishful thinking that there will be a wonderful surprise awaiting you.

8. That is how I feel.
Maybe something interesting in the mail box today.

4. Enjoy - especially since I have a few packages ordered, and I trade music
I'm one of those obsessive live recording collectors, so when I'm not downloading it, I'm exchanging puffy packages in the mail.

I've also ordered Porcupine Tree's "XM 2" and Negativland's new one, so I'm waiting for those to arrive.

9. I enjoy it
I work from home so any little field trip that gets me out of the home office during the day is something I appreciate. It helps to keep the cabin fever away.
