Time and hard lessons are one kind of wisdom.
Try to forget them or love me no more.

I'm not asking your heart to believe me.
I'm not asking for promise or pledge.
Whatever the answer, it's yes that's the question.
I am the fool dancin' over the edge.
"Take Me for Longing," Alison Krauss

Who am I? I'm not that girl. Or that one, or that one. Formerly known as The Thin Queen of Elfhame; Aerin-sol, Dragon-Killer; je. .suis. .finis; and daughter-of-sunlight. I'm sixteen going on seventeen, a teenager in love with the heat of the sun and the light of the stars. I read far too much, I would spend my summers on a tall ship if I could, and I love intellectual discussions. Well, 'intellectual' being subjective, of course... there's nothing quite like: "Commas splices are bad!" "No they're not!" "Yes they are!" "Are not!" "Are too!"

I have a puppy that I adore and I still watch old Disney movies. I'm really into vampire stories right now, and Neil Gaiman is my favorite author. I spell analyse, theatre, and harbour the English way.

"Wishing only wounds the heart... "

"I'm Not That Girl," Wicked

STORY STATUS:
At the moment I'm only writing one-shots, and only for Twilight... so all those promises I made in my ANs about this story being the one I was actually going to finish? Not happening.

I might write out the fifth and sixth stories in Second Chances soon, though.

We're talented and bright. We're lonely and uptight.
We've found some lovely ways to disappoint, but the airport's almost empty this time of the year,
so let's go play on a baggage carousel.
Set our watches forward like we're just arriving here from a past we left in a place we knew too well.
(Hold on to the corners of today, and we'll fold it up to save until it's needed.
Stand still.
Let me scrub that brackish line that you got when something rose and then receded.)

"Watermark," The Weakerthans

UNIVERSAL DISCLAIMER:
Not That Girl does not own any of the settings and/or most of the characters. If you recognize it, she doesn't own it. All she owns is a hundred or so books (including six by Robin McKinley and tow by Neil Gaiman) and her OCs.
Thank you!

Well, there's things that never will be right I know,
And things need changin' everywhere you go,
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,
You'll never see me wear a suit of white.

Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.

"Man In Black," Johnny Cash

Rest in Peace
