I heard a quote in my audio book that I loved.

I needed to talk about it.

But I didn't know where to talk about it.

Should I do a Twitter thread?

Should I post it on Instagram...post a screenshot of the book cover and then hope that people read what I've written in the comment section.

Should I write it on Dreamwidth?

My blog?

I ended up choosing my blog.

I'm not sure I have the energy and motivation to keep up with a blog and also do this.

The blog post I wrote today was the first I've done since mid-February.

I was thinking of quitting here, but maybe I'll stay as a reader? Find conversations about my favorite TV shows?

Or who knows...maybe next time I have that feeling of...I NEED to talk about this somewhere, I'll end up choosing here instead of my blog.

When I joined Livejournal back in 2004, I was a 31-year-old mother with a child soon to be turning three.

Now here I am on Dreamwidth as an almost 50-year-old, and the child is 20 and in college.

Explanation of my screen name: It's kind of a mix of my past screen names. Because I was too overwhelmed to come up with something new.

Thirty and the Cats is from Thirty Cats, which comes from a novel I wrote back in 1999 or 2000. I've since used that title for various screen names, including my first Livejournal and Instagram.

Dreaming comes from The Dream Games, a novel I wrote in high school and the screen name I used for my second Livejournal.

The Online part comes from my most recently written novel. I wrote it in 2014 so not actually so recent anymore. It's called The Dead are Online

I'm excited to be here...and cautiously hopeful. But a part of me is sad, because I feel I'm trying to recreate the past, and I worry I'll be disappointed.

The past several months I've been reading my LiveJournal along with some of the comments. Out of all the very lovely people I connected with, only one is still in my life...and barely so. I think I have this deep-down fantasy, that they will all come to Dreamwidth, and we'll be reunited. I think it's okay to have these feelings, but I don't want them to get in the way of enjoying new journaling experiences and relationships.

I both love and hate all the comments on Twitter about the Disney company picking up and moving out of Florida.

I love it, because it's funny.

I hate it, because it shows a lot of ignorance. And I like to imagine that people on the left are more logical and less ignorant.

Disney World is HUGE. I don't know how people imagine it can be simply moved.

Here is my idea:

Keep Disney World where it is. Don't add any new rides or resorts. Stop development. But don't let the place go to shit. Keep it in excellent condition. Maintain it. Keep it open. Update rides when needed.

And then...I think they should build all-inclusive themed resorts in Blue States. Each resort should be different...unique. This will give people a reason to travel to these cities/states, which will help with tourism.

I'm picturing something like Club Med—A cruise-on-land kind of thing. Emphasis on restaurants, character meet-n-greets, parades, dinner shows, night shows, etc.

I think each resort could have one dark ride. And the ride could combine a Disney theme with promoting the location. For example, Let's say there's a Toy Story resort in New Mexico. The Dark ride could have Toy Story characters visiting various tourist sites in New Mexico. It would be like Donald Duck in the Mexico ride at Epcot.

Ideas for Themes: Star Wars, Marvel (sleepover Marvel University), Toy Story, Mickey and Friends, Villains, Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean.

Another idea...I mean in addition to my inclusive resort idea.

How about a summer camp place...and then alternate the weeks between family camp and camp-for-adults. I would love a nostalgic place where adults could come and do old fashioned sleep-away camp: Skits, arts and crafts, capture the flag. They could have nostalgia-decade themes: 50's, 60's 70's, 80's 90's. You wouldn't have to be a child from those decades but the music, theming, etc. would be inspired by the decades. Oh! Maybe they could call it WandaVision camp.
