Боже мой, забытый, с теми кадра, когда-то это было впервые, это было для меня новое, которое я посмотрела, вообще было интересное из всего, что я увидела, да? Ну так я и поняла, о чём идёт там речь. Всё это к тому и шло, что где-то надо было подписаться, где-то надо было подключиться и узнать обо всём подробно, я подготовленно, ну не так сильно. Да, я рада, что мои комментарии пройдены, это как экзамен какой-то был, но всё равно. Я так и знала в секретных материалах. А то увидела, оказывается, много чего интересного. Теперь я вся во внимании везде. Мне всё нравится теперь
