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. Are you named for someone? Who and why?
I'm not named after anyone specifically. Rather, my mother thought the meaning of it ("Gift of God") was appropriate, given what she was dealing with at the time.

2. What activity recharges your battery?
Dancing. Anything from wiggling my booty in my chair to full out-and-out groovin', it makes me feel new. It may physically drain me sometimes, but it mentally cleans me out.

3. What is something you collect and why?
I have a large assortment of books, but I don't know if that qualifies as a "collection."

4. If you could star in a movie, what genre would it be?
While I love comedies, comedy is hard to play. I'd love to be part of a Shakespearean tragedy.

5. Do you speak any other languages than your native tongue? Are there any you'd like to learn?
Like you, I speak some Spanish. I used to be almost fluent, but years of unuse have led to its deterioration. I can read and write it much better than I can speak it. I'd like to make efforts at re-learning and refreshing it.

I used to love to dance, I don't do it hardly at all anymore.

I would think Shakespeare would be hard to do. I greatly admire actors who can pull it off. :)
