A Brief Introduction to Someone Who Likes the Color Green

Hi, my name's Sabian Cuevas. I go by my plain and simple first name, Sabian, because I'm always the only "Sabian" in the room and haven't ever had a desire to go by anything else as a result. A few people call me "Sabey" but that's beside the point. My parents were originally going to name me "Damian" but changed their mind because they were naming my twin brother "Sebastian" and wanted something that would sound nice when paired up with his name. "Sabian" was what they came up with, using "Damian" as inspiration for the name but making sure the name started with the letter S. They didn't even realize that someone else already beat them to the idea.

My favorite color is green for no particular reason. It used to be red when I was younger. One day in third grade I randomly realized I like green more. In High School I started picking out more green-colored clothes and I had a green binder, green mechanical pencil, green notebook, etc. My friends noticed and asked me why I was "obsessed" with the color, to which I had no real response other than "I dunno." My Spanish teacher when I was a sophomore at high school told me the color green looked good on me. My friends probably think she contributed to my "problem." Green has become somewhat iconic on me in the eyes of my friends and family to the point where it's practically a meme or a joke that doesn't end. A lot of people tell me that green is an ugly color. Their opinion clearly hasn't changed my opinion. Day one of my speech class at LMC, I spent one third of my introduction speech on the color green similar to what I'm doing now and the class didn't forget my favorite color for the entire semester.

I enjoy writing. Creative writing, just to be clear. As I've learned from my two creative writing courses with Professor Brown at LMC, creative nonfiction exists. I don't particularly enjoy it. I enjoy writing fiction and poetry. I'm currently writing a novel, though at an extremely slow pace to where I might as well consider it as being on hiatus. When sharing a few chapters in Professor Brown's intermediate creative writing class during one of our workshops, everyone seemed to like it. I can't be sure if they genuinely thought it was interesting or if they were just trying to be friendly, but I'll hope for the former. Poems are easier for me to write as opposed to continuing my novel since there's no sense of continuity between poems. Each of them are standalone pieces that I can do at any moment given the right inspiration.

Video games take up too much of my free time. I play all kinds of different video games too. Personally, I don't care too much for first person shooters, but I don't necessarily dislike them. I don't really have a favorite video game genre, but I really love the Kingdom Hearts series. I could talk about Kingdom Hearts for hours due to how overly complex the series is, and I've played the entire series about three times.

My long-term dream goal would be to have a successful video game series made after my novel. It would be the coolest thing ever to me to see the characters I've created go through their story in a video game format and have gamers everywhere enjoy my series. My slightly more realistic dream goal would be to have a career in the video game industry writing the scripts for video games even if it's not about my novel or my characters. My most practical dream is to simply graduate from San Francisco State University and become a creative writing teacher.
