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- I know my father gave me my first name. He did have a close friend named Dave, but I don't think I was officially named after him. My maternal grandmother gave me my middle name of Lawrence. In a way, this is my fathers name. His name was Larry. (not Lawrence), but my grandmother insisted that my parents wedding invitations have his name as Lawrence.

2- This sounds strange, but success does it for me. When a project goes well at work, or after I stage manage a good show.

3- I collect Clue games. (Bet you haven't met anyone else who does)

4- Duh! A musical!

5- I don't speak any other languages. I just never got the hang of it. I took French for 3 years in high school, but all I can remember is how to count to ten and say the "Hail Mary"

You collect Clue games? Do you mean different variations?

[cincy-dave.livejournal.com]

Yep. I collect different versions of the game. I found the version I had as a kid at a garage sale once. I bought it, then just started buying all the different versions that have been printed. I even have a few from Europe where the game is called Cluedo.
