About Me

My name is Justin. My last name is not Timberlake. I'm 25 and I live in Seattle.
(At this point in writing my profile, I exclaimed to a good friend of mine, "Shit! I cant even write a good profile!" To which he replied, "When in doubt, reference something obscure-- like Turtle Pies or Dinosaucers." That's the kind of person I am, and the kind of people I value.)
So, yeah. Here's the key facts about me:
I'm into music; I write and record songs under the name TKO From Tokyo . I kind of suck but I love doing it anyways.
If you are my friend, I will eat lava for you.
I'm a waiter. No, you may not have separate checks.
I'm on a voyage of self-discovery in my life right now, which is hippi-talk to say that I haven't quite finished college yet and I don't know what I want to do with my life.
I sometimes get really manic and do things like build arcade cabinets from scratch .
My diet lately consists of pho and swedish fish. But never, ever at the same time. That would be like crossing the streams.
my livejournal. Where I actually write stuff.
