    Bio
    Childhood, adults often say, is the happiest time in life. For as long as he could remember, Jack Ferry knew better.

    Until one mysterious day when Jack discovered that there were others quite like him, singled out for a great gift.

    And one day the whole stinking world would be theirs.



    Elliott. 23. University graduate (English major, philosophy minor), accessory peddler, and occasional cash operator.

    I'm Canadian, on the political left, into bandom, into ladies, nearsighted, often cranky, a fan of body modification, genderqueer, half British, prone to quiet overdramatics, an aspiring writer, an also aspiring librarian, a feminist, a Headologist, and an avid bookworm.

    Oh, and a Scorpio.

    Here is my Tumblr, and here is my Tamora Pierce blog. You should look at them.


    "It seems fair to say that there are moments in life to look pensive, and there are moments in life when you grab the total stranger next to you, blurt out, 'Holy crap, they haven't played this since 2002!' and hug awkwardly."
    - Everybody Hurts: An Essential Guide To Emo Culture, by Leslie Simon and Trevor Kelley


    "You know what? Fuck beauty contests. Life is one fucking beauty contest after another. School, then college, then work... fuck that. You do what you love, and fuck the rest."
    - Little Miss Sunshine


    "I'd like to have at my disposal complicated hybrid emotions, Germanic train-car constructions like, say, 'the happiness that attends disaster.' Or: 'the disappointment of sleeping with one's fantasy.' I'd like to show how 'intimations of mortality brought on by aging family members' connects with 'the hatred of mirrors that begins in middle age.' I'd like to have a word for 'the sadness inspired by failing restaurants' as well as for 'the excitement of getting a room with a minibar.'"
    - Middlesex, by Jeffrey Eugenides


    "Hey. Could we do that again? I know we haven't met, but I don't want to be an ant. You know? I mean, it's like we go through life with our antennas bouncing off one another, continuously on ant autopilot, with nothing really human required of us. Stop. Go. Walk here. Drive there. All action basically for survival. All communication simply to keep this ant colony buzzing along in an efficient, polite manner. 'Here's your change.' 'Paper or plastic?' 'Credit or debit?' 'You want ketchup with that?' I don't want a straw. I want real human moments. I want to see you. I want you to see me. I don't want to give that up. I don't want to be ant, you know?"
    - Waking Life


    "Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on."
    - Hogfather, by Terry Pratchett


    "The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what we share with someone else when we're uncool."
    - Almost Famous
