Assignment 1-Gibbs

Hello! I'm Gibbs. My full name is Leona Gibbs McKinley, so it can be a little confusing sometimes as I go by my middle one. I play soccer for Henry Clay and club so that is a big part of my life, both in the time commitment (2 a day practices for Henry Clay start mid-July and we don't stop playing until October) and the fact that most of my close friends also play with me (but not all). I have been playing since I was 4 years old and I love it. 

Another one of my favorite activities is reading. I particularly enjoy the fantasy/fiction genre, and have a bit of an obsession with Harry Potter. Some of my favorite authors are John Green, Neil Gaiman, J.R.R. Tolkien, Cassandra Clare, George R.R. Martin, Veronica Roth, Jane Austen, Maureen Johnson, Emily Bronte, Stephanie Perkins, Kristin Cashore, Markus Zusak (Book Theif movie!?),  J.K. Rowling (of course), and many more. Some of my favorite indivual books are My Life Next Door, The Catcher in the Rye, Seraphina, Between Shades of Gray, The Shadow Society, Beautiful Creatures, and many many more(I could go on for a long time with that list....). Joseph Beth is one of my very favorite places to spend time, especially since they have redone the resturant. I honestly spend way too much time and money on books, but I never regret buying or reading them. 

When I'm not reading or playing soccer I am probably either hanging out with my friends or on my phone/computer. I admit it, I have an internet addiction. Youtube videos, twitter, instagram, pinterest, everything. There is just so much to do. It's literally endless. I could spend hours just looking stuff up on google that I am curious about. Now you might be wondering when I sleep in between all of this, and the answer to that is not very often. Especially during the school year, I am extremely sleep deprived. While I know this is bad for your body, it feels to me like sleeping is such a waste of time. Therefore, if I could pick a super power it would be that I didn't ever have to sleep. I could if I wanted to, like to just take a break from thinking, but it wouldn't be a necessary activity. I mean just think about how much you could get done at night! I could learn to play an instrument, read more books, study and learn more. You would also never be tired which would be incredible. 

My biggest fear is what's after death.I hate roller coasters and heights. I haven't been on a roller coaster since I was 12 and I don't plan on ever doing it again. Other than that I don't have any particular phobias. 

Ok obviously I talk a lot, as you can see from the length of this post. I know I do. My nickname for soccer senior night last year was chatterbox...but I just have a lot to say. I also talk very quickly, especially when I get super excited, so if you don't know what I'm saying just tell me to stop and slow down. 

Just one more subject. I love music. Pretty much all music except for most rap and country, but other than that I am not super picky. Some of my favorite bands/musicians at the moment are The Head and the Heart, Coldplay, Taylor Swift, The Lumineers, Daughter, The Paper Kites, Lana Del Ray, Bastille, The 1975, John Mayer, Imagine Dragons, Of Monsters and Men, Maroon 5, and One Direction (I know). 
Well I am done now. Here's one of my favorite websites and a couple pictures that describe me.
