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.

Well... basque culture, language, anything related to be different culturally from the rest of spain was actually banned, prior to my birth, during Franco times. So the basque name ban was still alive when i was born, I know it's silly, but it was one of the control measures of the franco government. Sad but true.
