I wonder what it was like to star opposite Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes? Jane Russell was asked about Marilyn time and time again in interviews her whole life and never uttered a bad word about her. People tried to drum up some cat fight or rivalry. I am sure Marilyn was a sweet woman but Jane Russell was also!

More memes
If I were to create a meme out of this first image I would say, when my voices all try to gang up on me and speak simultaneously.
So I am on my second day of using My Firness Pal. I am documenting everything that I eat. I have zero calories left for the day. I hope this works to curb my eating and help me to lose weight.
My only reservation with using the food journal is that it makes you calorie phobic but I have to do this in order to lose weight. Wish me luck! Send me positive thoughts and prayers please!

Big word of the day: ultimogeniture
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimogeniture#Advantages_and_disadvantages
My mother used to hint at me staying home and taking care of her as she ages until death. She would tell me that the youngest child is assigned that role, in some cultures. I still do not know which culture she spoke of. My mother ended up using nurses to take care of her and I just had to keep her company. Thank God for my mother’s CNAS! My mother wanted me to solely take care of her after her aneurysm and not my father. Awkward! I had three little children to take care of!
In my attempt to research this phenomena I learned that the youngest was also supposed to inherit the estate completely. My mother forgot to mention that. Regardless, that never became a reality either. Oh well!

The reason that I don’t have a dog anymore.
I love dogs and everything, but this video is the reason that I have no desire to have or take care of another dog. The dog in the video is very sweet, but a total handful. I have three children who are my priority and a husband and an aging father to look after. So no thanks to another dog.
FYI the spoiler in this video is not a spoiler to any dog owners or former dog owners. I knew what was going to happen all along. It was chaos. Their baby was a saint though.

June 15, 1998 the date of my college graduation
Well, this picture really says it all. “Surrounded by strangers and miserable.” Depression reared it’s ugly head that day and for years after. My mother really wanted to see me graduate, but I was over college. I walked down the aisle for her sake and because I thought it might be a fun day with my family. It turned out to be a nice day in Santa Barbara, after we drove away from the university.
My mother had a discussion with me, after I graduated. She said that she was disappointed that I didn’t have a single boyfriend in college and she feared that my chances to find a husband had been greatly reduced, upon graduation. Was I over the hill already at 22 years old? What antiquated thinking!
There was a better picture of me taken on my graduation day but I cannot find it anymore.

I received my AAA catalog in the mail today.
Looking through the catalog, I began to wonder. Do you ever think about recreating pictures from the coversk, just to pretend that you are “living that life?” Here is a great scene to recreate!
A few minutes after posting this...
Leigh: We are living that life, bitch, so be forewarned! We hate you, so we are hexing you. Be forewarned!
Some people have said that my inner-voice dialogue is repetitive. It may be repetitive, but I know what the hexers are trying to do. They are trying to put me in a trance, so that they can say whatever they want to me, and I will be so relaxed, that I will just sit there and listen. (Lull me into submission)
My voices just referred to my little online diary here as (verbal) diarrhea. I hope that I am not just ranting here. The voices are definitely not the first people to bully me in my life. My mother used to call my ranting “psycho babble.” So I am well prepared for the hurt that Leigh brings on time and time again.

My crocodile theory 🐊
Carole Baskin’s second husband slipped on some mud, and fell into the swamp, by their Florida home. He was then, eaten by crocodiles. #TigerKing
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8246937/amp/Baskin-Robbins-store-Kansas-changes-sign-say-no-relation-Carole-Baskin.html
When I lived in Los Angeles, I actually met a Baskin-Robbins family member, at a company I was temping at. I was working as the receptionist at Intertainer. I never knew what the hell they really did at that company. Brad Baskin was an heir to the Baskin-Robbins fortune and man, he was a messed up guy. He was basically just hired there because he was a Baskin and what he did at the company, I will never know. One day, he threw his cell phone at me, because I accidentally disconnected one of his friends who called. His cell phone just missed my head. All of his coworkers disliked him and gossiped to me about him too. He was nuts and is probably related to Carole Baskin, so there.

I was in line at the Cotixan drive thru in Encinitas today and a voice broke through. It was actually quite comical.
Esteban: You can eat tacos until you are blue in the face, we are not going to stop hexing you.
Two of these voices consider me to be racist, so supporting Mexican-American businesses in this pandemic doesn’t really change anyone’s mind about me.

The Quarantined Theatre Company's virtual performance of King Lear
A Facebook friend of mine is starring in this virtual play. She is a beautiful girl named Gabrielle Korte. I used to work with her at French Corner in Leucadia. I am happy that she is achieving in her acting pursuits. I always wished that I had the attention span for Shakespeare. I was never interested in high school English class or Drama class, no matter how much I tried.
Today, as I was reading my friends synopsis of King Lear, I was interested. She said King Lear is full of revenge, madness, lust, and murder most foul! Call me an egomaniac, but it sounds a bit like my story, The Voices by Danielle Flore, available on AMAZON. :)
I should be reading King Lear and I might watch my friend's performance. I mean, what else have i got to do? Unfortunately I went to the online Cliff's Notes version of King Lear (Wikipedia) and I got bored again. YAWN!
I know that reading Shakespeare might make me a better writer. Everyone loves King Lear. It's a classic.
OOPS it is on YouTube right now. (4 PM PST) so I will give you my review later! :)
Ok I watched it for a few minutes. It is a Zoom meeting but they make it work and my friend Gabby is the best actor there.

Considering we are still under Coronavirus Quarantine, it has been a relatively normal Sunday. I took a walk with my father. I did some light housework. We ordered some pizza for lunch. I had finished eating and feeding my children. I started loading the dishwasher, when a voice came through clear as day. It was Leigh.
Leigh: It is Sadist Sunday and you are the subject our our sadism, so be forewarned!
Federica: We hate you, so we are hexing you. Be forewarned!
I feel a bit ganged up on when I hear more than one voice. Why can't Leigh stand alone? She always enlists the help of her friends, when she hexes me. What did I do today, to deserve this? It has been a very low-key day, besides the breakthrough voices.
Leigh: He colors everything about my life, so if you don’t leave him alone, I will kill you.
Me: Yikes! 😱

Unidentified Flying Object
Smile for the drone! A fellow walker on my street alerted me that a drone was following me today.
What do you see out your window?
I joined a worldwide Facebook group where everyone is posting pictures of what they see out their windows, during the Corona quarantine. In usual Facebook fashion, there are many beautiful and enviable photos. I am guessing some of these are fake or staged though.
This one is too perfect!
There are two love birds right out my window too but my camera is broken. Oh well! 😂

My new Facebook friend
So I got friended by someone today, who my parents used to know. I was uncertain whether to accept the friend request, but then she posted this.
I like random people! We may be more alike than I thought. Anyone who posts random, but funny status updates is alright by me. They actually enhance my Facebook experience! Also, these are so similar to my thoughts and prior posts. 😂

The one that got away-itis and schizophrenia
This is advice from a friend/acquaintance on my social networking therapy site.
I feel that the “one-itis” is a common affliction of schizophrenics. You harken back to a time when you were healthier and had more pull, when romantic interests were more possible, so when you unfortunately become schizophrenic, you cling to the idea of the last person who expressed that interest.
He had an interesting take on my dilemma, I think.

Tina Fey stole my joke about trying to make a slang word happen in high school. At least I tried to do that too. At Santa Monica High School some kids used to say “humor” a lot, when something was funny. But as I learned you kind of had to be popular to make people want to copy you or start using that word too. Oh well.
I was going to post another clip from the movie Carrie tonight but I am trying not to watch anymore Stephen King movies. I am already scarred for life from watching Carrie too many times. That is one thing that scared me about Keith, he looked like the villain from Carrie named Tommy Ross. Carrie should never have gone to the prom with that asshole. You can’t trust him as far as you can throw him! So I guess I dodged a bullet there but I am done talking about Keith on my blog. Onward and upward!
This seems appropriate .
Even though Metallica is not a Classic Rock band, I am feeling this. I mean, I have seen Kirk Hammett staring back at me in my mirror so...yeah. I am definitely Metallica.
Ok so I replayed this game three times to get Metallica but so what?

Back to reality (well not exactly)
My husband just pointed this out. Gotta love The Simpsons! Look at the books all the moms are reading at the park! LOL The things we do for our kids like putting up with judgy, competitive, and just generally weird moms at the park. I am glad we are past that phase!
The Boomerang Effect (a dark post)
It is as if my voices are the result of my jealousy and resentment towards these said individuals, which I aim in their direction, but ultimately boomerangs back to me, in the form of angry voices. I can't decide if the boomerang is the result of bad karma, or the said individuals retribution. (via harmful magic)
Divine retribution is supernatural punishment of a person, a group of people, or everyone by a deity in response to some action. Many cultures have a story about how a deity exacted punishment upon previous inhabitants of their land, causing their doom.
The voice in my head is referring to this as “divine retribution.” Thanks a lot for your input, Federica! I have no idea what she is talking about, as usual.

I must be bored today!
I remember performing in this musical when I was in grammar school at St Martin of Tours in Brentwood, California. Good times! Who knew that someone would write such a great song about wanting to receive a package in the mail. This song still resonates with me, especially because I have nothing better to do but online shopping today during this quarantine.

Another Overcast Day in Carlsbad, California.
It was another crazy, rainy Covid Quarantine Day in Carlsbad. I woke up at 6 am today and the water was turned off in our house. The police knocked on our door and asked us to move our cars because there was a mainline water break and they were afraid that there was going to be a sinkhole. So we have had workers from the city working on our street today. But they have been so polite. They even gifted us with bottled water and hand sanitizer. Later I got out and took a walk to clear my head.
This palm tree is weathering the storm just fine!

Wisdom
I was on my favorite social therapy website and someone said that his voices tell him that he is an “accidental shaman." He asked if anyone can relate. I told him that I was looking for a shaman to battle Santeria. He never responded. I am not delusional and I am taking my medication as prescribed. I am feeling better but I would still like to speak with a wise Native American shaman. I am interested in every religion, I swear. I have always been curious about other religions, so when someone takes the time to explain their beliefs, I am interested and find it helpful.
