    This is all totally what she needs. More attention. Otherwise she'd deflate like Balloon Boy's ride as it hit the front range.

    I'm over it. Kari's jumped the shark. The reason it was such a good story to begin with is because she wasn't aware what she was doing garnered attention. Now that there is an element of self-awareness is in the mix, it's moved beyond being a shell of it's former self and mutated into something completely different.

    The only way I will care again is if she gets a reality show on TLC in the same vein as The Pick-Up Artist except for grifting. #hipstergrifter

    Grifter Goddess is more like it, HamNo.

    Any woman who has such proficient command over profanity to invent new phrasing like 'motherbitch' is no ordinary human. And she has the discerning good taste to be unable to 'fathom that shit,' Law and Order. This is funny, succinct and secretly intelligent writing.

    Dismissing her as a fameballer is to ignore her her great capacity to size things up quickly and her deep understanding of how the system works. I've said it before and I'll say it again: this is one smart, ambitious and enterprising woman. Sure she may use her powers for evil and not for good. But so what? She has not committed the entertainer's cardinal sin of being boring. #hipstergrifter

    @Conchie Birdie: She prints in all block letters which means she is trying to hide something (shocker). Since the way cursive letters are connected reveal a lot about a person, when you come across block print it means someone's keeping secrets! Perhaps someone doesn't like beards as much as she claims. It slants to the left which means she is emotionally guarded- actually it's a pretty severe slant- which suggests she is wound pretty tight and could go from "adorable crazy" to "batshit-Kenley Collins-I kill you-crazy" faster than a hotdog flying down a hallway. It's also very controlled and uniform. You find this in people who are trying to exert some measure of external control over internal chaos. In handwriting you have three zones- top (crossing ts), middle, and lower (loops in y's, p's, etc). Her middle zones are most prominent. This is typical of middle school girls, those whose development is arrested at that age and other monsters.
    So even though it lacks some of the more alarming traits of handwriting (the felon's claw, the club, the maniacal d) it's pretty chilling nonetheless.
    Also the way she wrote Law and Order means she is STOKED about the episode and the way "Lucy Liu" slants up means someone has girl crush!
    So basically I guess no revelations. But if take the first letter of each sentence it spells out "I am Falcon Heene." Spooky. #hipstergrifter

    @skeletonhead: Thank you for that - I tried to analyze using what (lack of) skills I have and some website, but didn't get very far with it. This was awesome and yes, while nothing really "pops" out in terms of revelations, it only reaffirms what we know about her to be true: she is batshit bonkers with serious internal issues. #hipstergrifter

    Her prose is affected like Diablo Cody dialogue, and her appearance is a collage of stupid cultural references. It's clear she's too busy soullessly yammering to the media to have any sense that she did horrible things to people, the Facebook PR hit of being sent to prison far more meaningful a punishment than the time spent there jail-snail-blogging/learning the lesson. The lesson, of course, being that can Willy Loman your charismatic, unskilled ass through life if you act more insane and disaffected than your peers. She's the overstimulated standard-bearer for the "You said I was special and could do anything!" set. Digital Mothers and Digital Fathers, meet the children of the Digital age. #hipstergrifter

    I just want to be in her posse. I would enter a room before she does, announce her arrival and move people out of the way. Then if anyone approaches her I would get in front of them and say, "Ms. Ferrell isn't receiving guests at this time but she is accepting donations." We would be on the most exclusive party lists and travel all over the world and ...

    Oh crap, I gotta go back to work. #hipstergrifter

    She could host the Kari Ferrell Holiday Special. I wonder who the guest performers could be.

    At any rate, we know it would be a cancer benefit. #hipstergrifter

    She thinks Lucy Liu would play her? More like that girl who went out with Michael Cera. Just because a bunch of ugly dudes with beards slept with you doesn't make you hot...
