Brief Author Bio:

Appearances notwithstanding, I am fierce when it comes to proper grammar an' punctuation; I mistrust those who know not their proper usage.
I fly my Nerd Flag at th' top of th' flagpole.
I get along quite well with Carnies - general consensus is that it's due to th' tattoos.
I am Deathly Afraid of people who trowel on th' Internet Slang.
It's not known if my Misanthropy is a result of a lifetime spent in custy service or if'n it was just enhanced by it. 'Sawright; my surliness is part of my charm.
I am Inadvertently Obscure.
Roller Derby 'as caused me to lose any last vestiges of pride I once possessed. Th' upshot of this is that I am now a rilly rilly good dancer.
I'm - oddly - an Elitist Intellectual trapped in th' body of an Instinctive Lowbrow Gal.
Cheese is my favorite food group.

Synopsis:

Holycrap, writing longhand sucks.

Not as much as transcription, but it's mighty close.
