Petrified wood

Zodiac - Leo

Vibration - Master Number 77

Typical colours - Browns

Petrified Wood is also known as “Agatised Wood”.

It is the name given to fossil wood where the replacement of the wood is by Chalcedony.

Petrified Wood is a stone of transformation. It assists one to advance to ones highest chosen level. Helps to make one feel safe and secure, calming down survival based fears. Petrified Wood assists in setting a pace and staying with that pace all day long. It is useful for bringing patience to those in a process of slow inner transformation, and for bringing that change to fruition. Petrified Wood strengthens one’s backbone, physically and in terms of self-will.

Stone of good fortune, longevity and security

i'm definitely going to go to urgent care about this, but i think i like. chiropracted myself with a youtube shoulder stretch. or something. and i've been feeling so much better than good since yesterday, it's unbelievable. given how many months i've been enduring This Bullshit:

kept a list of constant/growing symptoms: tight neck, tense trapezius, hard muscle lumps, muscle spasms, sudden stinging, noticeably uneven shoulders (which was fucking weird btw, looking in the mirror and seeing that), right shoulder having a popping sound/feeling when moving it around.

treatments (from research and multiple doctors' orders): an untold amount of ibuprofen/meloxicam/robax/tylenol (my stomach's okay tho, somehow?? *knocking on wood*), that voltaren gel, salonpas patches, cold packs, heat packs forking over cash for a deep tissue massage, a few weeks of PT, TENS machine, posture/neck/shoulder exercises. for MONTHS! like since August!

and then this youtube stretch i think like??? popped something back into place????? bc outside of some residual upper right arm soreness (did some assigned exercises and i feel like i'm all of a sudden working muscles that apparently hadn't been worked, they're so sore), my shoulders are Even again for the first time in months, the hard muscle lumps near my neck that built up whenever i was doing exercises are gone, my shoulder isn't doing that popping thing, the doorway pec stretch that always felt weird and resistant for my right shoulder is like. fine now, my neck feels Unbelievably less tight, my Fucking Shoulders Are Even Again, like what the fuck? what the fuck????

like i'm still 100% gonna go to the urgent care on campus (tomorrow at the earliest) bc 1) i'm not a medical professional (and neither are the random commenters who suggested certain stretches and exercises, i bet) and 2) my right collarbone looks a tad swollen and one muscle around my right throat looks bigger than the left's (dunno if that's a result of my fucking shoulders being back in place and me having exercised the hell out of probably-misplaced muscles for a few months now). but even All That doesn't feel bad, just sorta weird in a "i should get this checked out" type of way. i feel like i'm on cloud 9 rn. my neck and shoulders haven't felt this relaxed since fucking june of last year. maybe i can start drawing again without needing to lie on my back every 30 minutes lol. i missed that. new year, new me! *frantically knocking on wood*

what didnt you like about in a violent nature? 👁

i didn't think it was that bad i just thought it was preddy boring. like the decent execution proved why it was maybe a flawed premise.

slasher where you follow the slasher the whole time: cool idea in theory buttttt

you don't really build a lot of tension because you can see exactly what the killer is doing and where he is at all times (the best scare moments are the 2 times he disappears off screen but one of those times ends up being kind of moot because he never comes back. so the tension didnt pay off)

you dont really have any reason to care about the kills because you've only seen any of these people for one scene at most. so who give a shit. i know a lot of people are really hyped about the kills because theyre 'so intense' but if youve seen like. any previous shudder original or damien leone movie then nothing here is particularly shocking. this is all extremely standard for 2020s gore movies ime (<- guy who saw when evil lurks at AMC with no warning. on the big screen. so probably has a skewed experience)

and that last point about the victims is especially important if youre going to decide to drop the gimmick and switch to following the final girl for the last chunk of the movie (probably honestly was only 10 minutes but it felt like 40). because who is this girl. what character trait does she have. i mean she has a rude boyfriend and she likes necklaces i guess but i dont know a single thing about her and you dont even spend the end of the movie learning about her you just watch her slowly pass out while this random woman drones on about a story that they kind of. failed to engage me with because at that point i had spent so long meditating to the peaceful sounds of the killer walking around that i was fully checked out.

anyway this is all why i wondered if maybe the movie was actually a genius satire on the genre by taking the shallow characters and predictable kills that we associate with schlocky horror to the extreme. but if that was the intent its honestly like 3 decades too late to be meaningful :p

Georgia keeps flooring me with David content. THAT PHOTO SHE JUST POSTED ON HER INSTAGRAM! He really should do some modelling, so gorgeous.

I saw that pic, Anon! David is truly a beauty of our time. This is it here, for those who haven’t had a chance to check it out:

What immediately caught my attention (other than David looking devastatingly gorgeous, of course) is that he’s wearing a t-shirt with Ty’s character from House of the Dragon on it. So not only does David have a shirt with Ty on it, he also has a t-shirt with Georgia’s face on it:

Which leads me to wonder, therefore, if David has a shirt with Michael’s face on it. (And if not, he should.) We’ve already gotten an idea of what that might look like, thanks to this excellent edit from @daziechane:

...But given that the shirt of Ty is actually a depiction of his HoTD character, would David be more likely to wear a shirt of one of Michael’s characters instead, and if so, which character? Personally, my vote is for this shirt of Aro from Twilight (linked because NSFW-ish). Disturbing, yes, but also hilarious, and Michael himself recently mentioned how much he loves it, so I’m pretty sure he’d pass out due to blood loss from getting hard so fast if he ever saw David wearing it.

So yes, love David in that new picture that Georgia posted, especially that super cuddly cardigan he has on and how perfectly clothes fit him in general. Here’s hoping that one day he will have a Michael shirt to add to his collection...

...today was so incredibly stressful and I'm so glad I randomly signed up for a yin yoga class before everything collapsed even though I'm vaguely nervous about it!
