Angela Snape's Asylum

Works like this: Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your IJ and explain what they mean to you.

snapesgirl_62 gave me: Ontario, Charlie Weasley, Tea, Thunderstorms, M*A*S*H

1. Ontario - my current home and native land... though I was born one province to the east.  Home to Niagara Falls, the Stratford Festival, and some great wineries.  Toronto can be fun, Ottawa too.  Been far north - my first job was at a fly-in only reserve north of Sioux Lookout.  Some great camping spots - and canoeing in Algonquin Park is just fantastic.  I hear the fall colour up there is just fantastic right now... here, in the GTA, it's still a mix of green & other colours.
   
2. Charlie Weasley - one of my favourite characters to write because we don't know lots about him.  That means, I get to make stuff up about him.  I don't see him as the raunchy/slutty sex fiend that many fandom writers portray him as - to me, he's more of a loner who loves his dragons & is wiling to give up a permanent relationship for his beasts.  I love writing him with tattoos, especially magical, animated tattoos.  Pairing-wise, I like Charlie with Neville or Draco, and absolutely love him with Kingsley.
   
3. Tea - while I enjoy my coffee, especially in the morning, I tend to prefer the taste of tea.  Earl Grey is my favourite, black with a bit of sugar.  At work, I keep a tin of green tea with mint for the afternoon, and enjoy herbal 'teas' too.  Tea is easy, especially for camping - coffee at camp is an art I haven't mastered.  (Instant doesn't count.)
   
4. Thunderstorms - when I was a little girl (gee, I've always wanted to start a story like that!) my Dad & I would stand out on the front porch and watch the lightning during a thunderstorm.  When my daughter was about a year & a half old, we were staying in a cabin with several friends in Tobermory, ON when a gigantic storm hit us & stayed for what seemed like the whole afternoon.  We all stood on the back porch watching the lightning over Georgian Bay.
   
5. M*A*S*H - my first fandom, at least, the first show I could watch over & over and have completely memorized, even now.  I have all of them on DVD.  Didn't know about slash or fanfiction at the time, but have since discovered M*A*S*H slash and enjoy reading Hawkeye/Trapper.  BJ is as straight as can be, in my books.  Love how Margaret's character developed over the course of the series - she grew a lot over the years, and loved her nurses, as surly as she was with them sometimes.
