Feeling awkward


Val: We have to talk. Were you just watching Risky Business with your widowed father? Ick! Why did you stay there and watch that with him? You should have left before the sex scene! You have a very strange relationship with your father and I will be sure to let Trey Sanders know. Be forewarned!

Matt:  Classic! The movie, that is. Not you. We are hexing you for more awkward situations with the people closest to you, so be forewarned!

Maeve: You chastise yourself. If you notice, I have said nothing about this because I am more open minded than you. Trey and I watch sex scenes together, all the time. I am not fazed by it. In fact, we are enjoying porn together right now. Be forewarned!

Out to lunch



 What I drank vs what my friend drank 


Yes my cat can wave to me


 So I have been teaching my kitten to wave at me. Here is how it’s going.

Just a reminder






I want to remind you that you can purchase my book titled The Voices by Danielle Flore on Amazon. A kind soul purchased my book today at Better World Books and left a good review. Check it out!

Find this guy on TikTok


I don’t know if Blogger or TikTok is messing with me but when I post a TikTok here it doesn’t send the viewer to the intended TikTok anymore. So I am going to say,  just find this guy on TikTok. He is funny. He is like the nagging voice in my head though. In his latest TikTok he is just harping about how excited we were for this summer to begin but what have we really done that is fun? We are not going out at night. We never took a vacation. It’s just been the same thing day in, day out. I have been staying around the house cleaning and taking care of my kids/cats/family. That is all. How sad!

Matt: You are just tripping out again. You are tripping out on this guy because he is Latino and he is saying what you were just thinking. Maybe we have more in common than you want to think. He is a fellow human being who is complaining about his summer. Give him a break! Give us all a break! Be forewarned!

UC Santa Barbara


UCSB does have a fun party reputation and I know a lot of people from Los Angeles who did not attend my college would try to drive up just to party with us. Having lived in Isla Vista for 4 years, I know that there were also nerds there who I lived with and they were absolutely no fun at all. The super smart kids tended not to party or know how to have a good time if they tried.

This guy too

Advice from Matt

Matt: Stop making kooky references to surfing on your blog. It’s a subject that you know nothing about and a lifestyle that you are not a part of. You are on the outside looking in, as you are looking with envy and awe, at one Dr. and Mrs. Trey Sanders. You wish that you were living the life of Maeve. You wish that you were the wife of a doctor. Jet setting, romping around at the beach, and just generally living the life of a madly in love, child-free couple. Don’t let your envy get the best of you. When you let your envy drive you, you make silly moves, like seeking out attention and validation from married men.  Trey Sanders will never approach you or comment publicly on anything that you post about him here. Trey Sanders doesn’t even read your blog. No one reads your blog. You have one active follower and it ain’t Trey. Your blog is just a waste of your time.  Some poor soul in another country, who is bored to tears, might be reading your blog right now, but that is it. They also may have clicked on your blog link by accident. Your blog popularity is going nowhere fast, so be forewarned.

My review of Harbor Fish Cafe



Tonight for the very first time I went to eat at the Harbor Fish Cafe in Carlsbad. It is located at Tamarack beach. I was always a bit intimidated to go there as it is usually packed with people. Today I worked through my nerves and had a nice time. The service was great and the food was tasty. We had a table with a great view too! I can’t believe that I have lived in Carlsbad since 1999 and this is the first time that I have dined here. I highly recommend.

Smile you’re on Candid Camera!

 https://vm.tiktok.com/ZTRBg7veQ/?k=1

The title of my post could be…”When you meet some jerk on POF and he tries to hook up with you on the beach right in front of the Surfline surf cam.”  I seriously don’t know where the Ponto beach Surfline cam is positioned, so now I am scared. This encounter happened in 2015 but today I am having nightmarish flashbacks of him.

Maeve: You’re thirsty! You can’t post any attractive, thirsty beach pictures, so you write about subjects that aim to keep the spotlight on you. We hate you, so be forewarned, we will not let you have the spotlight or Trey Sanders.  I will do it better every time. I am with my husband, making love on the beach, just out of view from the Surfline cameras. I know where all of the Surfline cameras are located, unlike you!  We are having another tremendous summer, romping around at Santa Cruz’s clothing-optional beaches. We are already naked anyway, we might as well make love! Have fun facing the family-filled crowds and all of the cameras at the beaches in San Diego. We will definitely be watching you, so be forewarned!

Matt: Danielle, no one does it right on the beach in Santa Cruz! Wake up!

College TikTok

 https://vm.tiktok.com/ZTRBxoU4n/?k=1

Ok so this never happened that I recall. I was not involved in any Spin the Bottle hijinx in college. I have said this before but college was a lonely place for me as I was single the entire time. No guys really wanted a girlfriend in college at least no one that I was remotely attracted to expressed that interest to me in the daylight. I called the boys in college vampires because I only saw them at night and it would be pretty late in the night when they would start trying to cozy up to you. I was usually passed out in bed by 10 every night so they probably hated me. I was so worthless to them. lol

Surfer TikTok

 https://vm.tiktok.com/ZTRkpcnr7/?k=1

I love surfers (from afar) but is this guy serious? I don’t know many surfers very well but ??? I am not really feeling this guy or what he is saying. Is he joking?

This reminds me of you

 https://www.instagram.com/reel/CfPNBBnJpV5/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Me: Today was the first time that I ever heard this song and it reminded me of you.

Maeve: Wow, stop trying to communicate with my man and lure him away from me! I am not a stupid cat! I am a highly intelligent woman who is using the dark arts to see absolutely everything that you are doing. You have no secrets from me and I am using my knowledge against you. You are no match for me and your little plan to steal my husband is going nowhere, so be forewarned!

Maeve: This Instagram clip is about my love life with my husband and our adventures on the road. This has absolutely nothing to do with you. You only wish this was your love life and your future. Be forewarned!

I saw you yesterday


I saw you yesterday. Beautiful blonde hair blowing in the wind with bright blue eyes and a nice smile. Are all blondes just sunlight and sunshine? I have a dark cloud hanging over my head, personally. 


Two cats wearing straw hats 💗


Me: Every genius photo op that you have ever taken has been done better by cats, so know that, and be forewarned!

Another TikTok. This one is about college

 https://vm.tiktok.com/ZTRrgcdex/?k=1

Hot tub time and then time for bed



 Ok so there are no hot tub pictures because these cats hate baths.


Maeve: You are evil for recreating my relationship Facebook posts with your cats. How jealous can you possibly be? Do you have to advertise that to the world, you complete stalker? I hate you, so I am continuing to hex you. Be forewarned!

Val: She thinks that she is being cute. She is just being a bitch and pathetic actually.

I am going to recreate all the Facebook profile pictures that I envy the most with my cat!



Super cool beach vacation pictures. Cinnamon is ready to surf.  Having a raging time. Wish you were here!

Maeve: Your cat is ready to surf? More like, your cat is ready to get the hell away from you! I wish that I could get further away from you and I am in Santa Cruz! I want you out of my life completely and away from my husband! If you don’t stop posting about us and pining for Trey, I will keep hexing you and you may find yourself ailing and failing. I know a few people who can help me with that, so be forewarned.

Val: Don’t envy. It’s not a good look on you, like your ensemble in these pictures. Where did you get that skirt? Nice try. You don’t look good here. You cannot possibly recreate Maeve’s pictures, between your clothes and your appearance. You will never do their pictures justice, because you are such a joke. Be forewarned!

New kitten


 

A sense of humor

People probably wonder why I make so many jokes on my blog, about my serious mental illness. I have to say, that I frequently get agitated hearing voices and feeling that people are purposely messing with me. When I hallucinate seeing Trey and famous people driving past me, I am just puzzled. I feel like I have the Truman show delusion, where everyone is watching me and I am not in on the joke. I make jokes to deal with my situation. When I am feeling perplexed and stalked and hexed, making jokes, in reflection, helps me the most. Writing about my situation and sharing it publicly helps spread awareness about schizoaffective disorder. I am not trying to make a joke of mental health issues. I am trying to deal with my situation the best way I know how. I want to prove to everyone that people living with psychosis are not the monsters that we are made out to be. I feel that I am a regular person, expected to function normally, and be a caregiver to others. I am a mother to three children and have an aging father. I have many challenges, but I am actually functioning quite well in real life.  My sense of humor about my situation just happens to be a strength of mine.

Voice free Friday night



I am having a voice-free Friday night!  Dare I even say that? You know what will happen next.

Val: Gag me? Is that how you say it? Vomit emoji, please. That tee shirt. What does it say on it? Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy? Spare me! You are trying to be stylish, by wearing silly statement teeshirts, which is not style, by the way. It looks crummy and boring. I should know. I am a style-maven, like one, Maeve Sanders, who you cannot compete with, in the fashion department either. You can’t keep up with her! You should give up now. Be forewarned!

Stalking surfers is kind of my thing.

Just kidding. Taking pictures of surfers from far away is a hobby of mine. This is Ponto.



Val: Are you going to blow it with Trey Sanders? There are many surfers in San Diego, but are there any others like the one that you have been pining over here? Trey is still very married. Keep your eyes on the prize, says one Trey Sanders, or he will remain with his beautiful wife forever. Be forewarned!

Envy

My childhood friend (V) took me down the path of drugs and destruction when we were younger. Now she is apparently doing pretty well for herself. I envy her actually. She turned her life around, got sober, and became a kick ass lawyer. We keep in touch occasionally. For awhile she was not on Facebook because she had a creepy stalker and she was hiding from him. Well she actually had an affair with him while he was married I think. She was avoiding him and more chaos. Later in 2015 he left his wife for her. They are picture perfect on Facebook like everyone else there. They say that they are the ones for each other and they are going to grow old together. This could be us, Trey. No??

Choices (a haiku)

Remain unhappy 

Or break a heart full of love

Which road do you choose

Jamie Lee Curtis in the news

 https://www.glamour.com/story/jamie-lee-curtis-ana-de-armas-inexperienced-assumption/amp

Val: Valentina wants to tell you that you are just as racist as Jamie Lee Curtis. She made blatantly racist remarks about her costar Ana de Armas. There is a reason why these stories keep showing up in your newsfeed, because you are the ultimate Karen, so be forewarned.

Matt: You and Jamie Lee Curtis have tons in common. You are both spreading your random, racist thoughts about Hispanics into the cosmos. You have no clue how harmful your ignorant and offensive words are. In addition to that, you and Jamie Lee are both known for stopping men in their tracks, at the sight of your large breasts. You use your breasts to your advantage and to get attention. We cherish the pictures and videos that you have shared with the world. We cannot take you seriously though. You both will go down in history, for basically, nothing more than the memories of paused videos and pathetic, desperate, half-naked pictures. (Some of which were taken without your knowledge) Be forewarned!

Joke of the night


 I am thinking of making my own TikTok video. I keep watching these TikToks where people describe potential dating scenarios, rate the appearance of a potential date, and ask for your feedback on whether you would date them. The dating world is and always has been so shallow.

Here is mine: Ok so she is basically a 6, a little heavyset, and has some mental health challenges, but she has an awesome inheritance coming her way. Would you date her?  On second thought, forget that! I am not sharing my inheritance with anyone. I resolve to be a single & crazy cat lady for life!

Val: Yes! Actually you are less than a 6, and definitely undateable, for one Trey Sanders. He is still married as Fuck.  No amount of flirting will lure him away. We have magic on our side and the power of good, old-fashioned marriage vows. Trey is a good man, who promised himself to Maeve until death do they part…and she is still alive. I hate to break it to you, but marriage vows still mean something to good people. I am sorry that you don’t fall into that category. Trey and Maeve are a beautiful, sweet, loving couple, whose relationship is rock solid. You can blog in your journal until your fingers fall asleep. Writing about your desire to be with Trey, will not manifest your dreams into reality. Nothing you can do will change this, so be forewarned.

Smug sisters

I am just going to put this out there. I strongly believe that the mean girl voices in my head are partly based on my upbringing and being raised with my siblings. I have three older siblings, (one older brother and two older sisters) who can be mean. We have a history of making fun of each other, bullying each other, and even gaslighting each other. Apologies rarely happen. It is a never ending cycle when we are pushed by each other. Today I was called “obese” and “possibly gay.” Do I have open minded sexuality? Perhaps. I am not a cookie cutter Catholic but my sister who was calling me these names today is far from a role model Catholic. Give me a break. I am distancing myself from Catholicism and my hypocritical family. It’s no one’s business what my sexual preference is anyway. I am living the heterosexual lifestyle at present. No reason for fussing so give me a break. I would rather be open minded and have open minded friends than no friends at all, like my judgemental, boring, bad Catholic sisters.

Wow Martha! Can I relate!

 https://www.yahoo.com/news/martha-stewart-jokingly-wishes-her-002918307.html

Til death do you part??! I have been hanging on for years here. I keep waiting for that paddle boarding accident or maybe, just natural causes. Can someone just peacefully die of natural causes at 40 years old? 

Maeve: Don’t hold your breath, home wrecker! I am alive and well and living my best life, in Aptos with my man, Trey.  You can just eat your heart out! The only single men your age are either married or total assholes. Take your pick of the scraps and leftovers from other women’s love lives. You are a loser in the love department! Only losers attempt to steal happily married men! For the last time, you can’t have my man, my soulmate, my everything, so just back off…or else! Be forewarned!

Matt: I thought that you were adopting another cat? Get used to being a single, crazy, cat lady. Be forewarned!

To Be In Love

 https://vm.tiktok.com/ZTRFujq1w/?k=1

I don’t know how much I have ever felt the way that is described in this TikTok. Have I ever been in love? I am honestly kind of an oddball and think about things differently. I have the most in common with my platonic friends.

Thursday, July 7, 2022

Don’t even think of viewing her Facebook page!

Maeve: I hate you so much! Don’t even go there! You think that Trey was just killing time with me, before he was ready to get into a relationship with you? You are my enemy, so be forewarned, I will make sure that your relationship is doomed from the start. Doomed, I tell you! He is a handsome, successful, child-free, doctor. He will not end up with you, even if he gets out of my clutches, somehow. You are simply not good enough for Trey Sanders. I hope you know that he is too good for you and I hope that you know everyone thinks he is crazy for even looking at you. My gosh! There is so much beauty in the world, but not as far as you are concerned. Do not look at my Facebook page or I will berate you again. Be forewarned!

Val: Stop saying how cute Maeve’s husband is…or else! How sad! She is trying to lure Trey away from his marriage to my close family friend. I will continue to hex her! Be forewarned! He is so mean anyway. You have been waiting for him forever. Haven’t you? Remember when you thought he was going to just show up at your house so you threw out your husband and just waited and waited? He never showed up to take you out. Did he?

Matt: Yes those were good times and we witnessed the whole thing. Oh but don’t blame us though. You went off your medication because you knew that you were in no shape to compete with beautiful Maeve. We may have been speaking to you, privately in your mind, but you didn’t have to listen to us. You believed everything that we said to you and we took you down a dark road. It’s your fault, in the first place, for falling for a married man and making contact with him. You should have left well enough alone. You dug your own grave and you still haven’t retreated that much. Attempting to write cheesy love haikus about Trey and posting them online is not retreating. You keep making motions towards him. Maeve says, “Back off bitch!” That is why we are still hexing you and will continue to do so. Be forewarned!

I wish my Fourth of July (and Fifth of July) were independent from voices.

 I wish my Fourth and Fifth of July were independent from my voices, but I had no such luck here. I celebrated the Fourth of July quietly with my family. I am saddened by the mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois.  My anxiety skyrocketed when I heard the news, so I did honestly hermit most of the day. I fear going out into crowds now, more than ever. When I am home for too long, I can become bored and hear voices. When I am out in a crowd for too long, I can develop social anxiety and start hearing voices. So either way, I can't always control my voice hearing. I guess tonight typifies textbook overthinking, as I mull over my holiday weekend and wonder about Trey's holiday weekend. This overthinking brings on my voices.

Maeve: You bitch! You are a total bitch for writing a book, hundreds of blog posts and silly poems, about my husband! You are trying to lure him away from me, through your writing. Let me tell you that you are going to need to do a lot more than write, to win my husband over, because you are out of your league! He is not thinking about you. We just had a fantastic Fourth of July together. The next Fourth of July could be even better, with a little addition running around. Based on how this holiday went, we could be expanding our family...if you know what I mean. Eat your heart out! Dr. and Mrs. Sanders are still in the honeymoon phase of our marriage, 10 years in! We are soulmates! I don't understand why you think otherwise. It is beyond my comprehension, I guess. I keep telling myself that I can't control what you think, but I sure as hell can keep you away from my man. Trey will never be traveling down South to San Diego again, if I have anything to do with it. Trey just needs a sip of my love potion! Be forewarned!

Val: A hex for you should help keep you away from Trey. Like you have said before, we can hex you from anywhere in the world. We are quite keen on the ways of magic and we work well together. We could do some serious damage, more than you realize. We are witches and there is nothing wrong with practicing the Dark Arts, on a romantic rival. You are hellbent on poisoning a beautiful marriage. You keep poisoning their marriage with your slanderous words and flirtatious posts. You know what you are doing and you deserve everything that you are getting. How are you feeling? Every time you hear an angry voice and generally feel under the weather, I hope you know where these symptoms are coming from. What type of energy you put out there comes right back at you, like karma. Your hellraising ways are coming right back at you now, like a boomerang, so be forewarned.

Matt: How was your Fourth of July? Did you celebrate your independence...from Trey Sanders? You aren't together, so you should celebrate! We are! We celebrate the independent, separate lives of Chiara and Trey, because there is no Chiara and Trey! They are two people, who live on opposite ends of California, and who actually couldn't be more different. Trey and Maeve are successful in their careers. They are mentally well, with true inner happiness. They are physically fit and love water sports and beach life. They don't appear to need children to make their marriage complete. They love traveling the world together and expressing their love for each other publicly. Did I miss anything? How do you stack up in comparison to them? Yeah, that's what I thought.  Happy Independence from your mental mindfuck of a soulmate, who you created in your own mind. You don't even know Trey. Your college years really sound like a trip. I hope that you and Trey had fun, Not that you remember accurately, as that was over 20 years ago. I rest my case. You should leave Trey the hell alone, if you want to start feeling better. Be forewarned!

This TikTok freaked me out!

Watching the sunset


“Tell me that I look like Cher in Moonstruck!” Just kidding. Posting pictures online can trigger my voices for some reason. Perhaps it’s because I am self conscious about my appearance and pictures. Here we go again:

Maeve:  Cher? Why? There is not a chance in hell of any of us telling you that. Be forewarned!

Matt: Right! Not even close! Cher is known for aging gracefully and retaining her fantastic body throughout the years. That is not you. You must be delusional again. We are not here to flatter you anyway. We are actually here to deflate your ego, as your head resembles your fuller figure.  Keep dreaming though. You flatter yourself. Ha! I guess if no one else flatters your appearance, go right ahead and compliment yourself. Cher is definitely not your doppelgänger though. Be forewarned!

Fun at the pool

Malicious voices attack again

Val: You have no idea how much we appreciate you Americanizing our names. It distances us from the Santeria. Seriously, it doesn’t matter to me. You are just so fake. You are pushing your racism deep down inside. Instead of letting it out, for the whole world to see. That’s worse, actually, because you are trying to front like you are so innocent and like you are becoming a better person because of this experience. We don’t want you to look good at all! We want you to look like the true bitch that you are! Never mind, no one reading this thinks highly of you anyway and no one believes you. You are just a nut job. Also, just to let you know, you won’t be hobnobbing with the stars any time soon because no one is reading this, so be forewarned!

Maeve: You will notice that I am not posting on social media lately. It is because I am very busy with my perfect life with Trey and not because I am threatened by you in any way. No. You don’t make me uncomfortable at all! Feel free to peruse what I post publicly. It won’t change your circumstances anyway. Knock yourself out! You will start to feel jealous very soon when I post our next blissfully happy couple photo. We are truly living the dream. So eat your heart out! I hope that you will turn green with envy when I do post. If you keep looking at my photos, you could stay green for good. One can only hope. Be forewarned!
