I'm scheduled to have surgery on friday to correct a deviated septum.  The procedure's called a septoplasty and it involves them sticking knives up my nose while I'm asleep.

I had no idea i had a deviated suptum until recently but it does explain why i don't breath through my nose all that well.  I only found out when i went to get a hearing test

Amanda Watson tried to teach me how to do it once, but I sucked at it. I think Justin was able to do it though.

i'm getting to be a pro. i can now do it without using my mouth so that i blast it into one nostril and it shoots out the other one. very satisfying.
it does weird stuff to my ears though; i think cause some water gets in the eustascion (sp?) tubes and makes wet pressure-change sensations go on like you've been swimming.

it makes sense that justin can do it. who's amanda watson?

Dude! You must have known Amanda! She and Mark Loeser were together (or "lovers" as Justin would insist on calling couples back then and probably still does). She was with Justin for a while too, but it was when they lived in Victoria. I know you know her. She's a lovely and very intense woman. And nostrilly talented.

I am so excited that you can get it in one nostril and out the other! I still want to learn so bad. I got a serger today! (In totally unrelated news). Also, I miss you. Please come down for a weekend. Thx, Erin

right, amanda. i'm pretty sure i've met her and i've definitely heard alot about her over the years. re. "lovers"; that is a very justin thing to say. i swear, that boy has possession of a very powerful and persuausive language. i can't even separate my own from terms that i've adopted from his over the years and it's always amazing to meet new people who have recently met him and started adopting words like "harsh", "intense", "beautiful" and "so wonderful!" (without any irony). i remember when emily came to visit vancouver; we were in a shop in chinatown and saw this fucked up sad looking piggy bank and she exclaimed "oh! that's really upsetting" with laughther and a mixture of mock sadness and aesthetic delight. it was incredible, it was as if justin had just materialized in the room for a moment.

Harsh is mine!!!!! That fuckbag adopted it from me. But I definitely took "soooooo beautiful," "soooo amazing," and "this music makes me feel like the life I want is impossible".

ok ok! i figured that some of those could have been yours.

the "like the life i want is impossible" line is still one of his crowning achievements and it's so applicable to so many situations. like today when i was shopping with my mom at oakridge centre mall. that shit is out of hand; teens, man, fucking teens.
