Five for Friday :)

[kybearfuzz]

Stolen from and/or influenced by thefridayfive, here are five questions for Friday:

1. Are you named for someone? Who and why?
   
2. What activity recharges your battery?
   
3. What is something you collect and why?
   
4. If you could star in a movie, what genre would it be?
   
5. Do you speak any other languages than your native tongue? Are there any you'd like to learn?

My Answers

1. I was named for my maternal grandfather Marcus. My mom and dad didn't know they were having twins and were wanting to name the baby after their dads. When the twin and I came about, it made things simple. I was named after Papaw Marcus, Joe after Papaw Joseph.
   
2. Napping does it for me. I can nap for a long time though....
   
3. I collect comic books, which isn't a surprise to most people. I've lost count of how many I have.
   
4. I would love to star in a scary and/or horror movie. I doubt I would be a scream queen (hush, you bitches!), but it would be fun.
   
5. I speak some French. I can read it and translate it far better than speaking it though. I never got to practice it much in KY, so my fluency is the pits. I'd love to learn Spanish or Italian.

Are you named for someone? Who and why?
Technically no, but I have the same middle name as my Dad and Grandpa Jack.

What activity recharges your battery?
I think one of the belts in the engine does that, right?

What is something you collect and why?
Grapes. They're pretty, and they symbolize abundance, hospitality, and generosity. I tend to accumulate books, though I suppose you could call that a collection.

If you could star in a movie, what genre would it be?
Documentary, of course. I am naturally fascinating.

Do you speak any other languages than your native tongue? Are there any you'd like to learn?
I speak enough German and French to completely butcher them when I try to speak them. I know a teeny bit of Spanish and Russian (would like to know more). I'd love to speak something obscure like Urdu or Xhosa.
