hello, my name is eugene. these are my murasaki diaries. originally named for the song by akanishi jin, which i had on repeat at the time of starting! and as you can infer, i was deep in an akanishi jin phase at the time. (i still like him, but! i opened my heart to tohoshinki's music and jaejoong snuck in. and now he won't leave! meanie. anyway.)
i'm an '06 liner, scorpio, n infp 4w5. derse knight of heart, if you play sburb. they / he / she please! pst timezone also. in college, studying english. part of the design and web team on a music magazine, too.
i love sweets and baking (to the chagrin of my dentist and genetically cavity-prone teeth), writing, and editing photos. i'm learning korean right now, but i also want to learn japanese and continue with mandarin at some point. my favorite color is black, and my favorite holiday is halloween. i like gourmand perfumes, but my most-worn right now is deep cries from mode korvidae.
