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.

1. The naming convention in my family was to be that everyone's name started with a C. I did have a twin, but he didn't survive mom's difficult delivery.

2. Spending time with my friends. I love to talk and laugh.

3. Dust. Come see my house sometime.

4. It would have to be a screwball comedy. If it were anything serious my best work would probably be the blooper reel.

5. Spanish. My Grandparents on my Mother's side were Castillan. My Paternal grandparents were pretty much absent.

We don't seem to have any naming conventions in my family, everyone's names from my immediate family to extended family seem to follow no real pattern. I think that would be cool to have it work like yours did.

I have thought seriously about signing up for Spanish classes.
