Shannon is a walking justification for other people having social anxiety. There's her inner monologue, confirming that yes, everybody is viciously judging you.

Thank you for finding my research useful! I'm just recovering from an all-consuming migraine, and although a new chapter snark would have been a delight in itself, this really made my day.

If there's no reserve, the auctioneer can lower the starting bid. He could also have just skipped all the renewed drama and agreed on a price with Shannon, too.

Now I want to color my hair in burgundy and black streaks, just out of pique.

Thank you for providing the research. :) I was having trouble finding much about that sort of thing, which made it pretty frustrating in trying to determine what PC actually had be accurate and what was made up.

Ah, then that was alright. Although considering that, it makes me wonder why PC just didn't write this as a regular estate sale. It would have made just as much sense.

XD Go for it!

I just wanna jump in the bandwagon and thank you for pulling up that interesting article. I'm huge into history but I've barely done anything of celtic history (unless it's closely tied to Roman-Occupied France/England), so it's actually interesting to find something from Scotland!

(also, if you can point me to the article (or the main source) I would totes appreciate it. I'm already missing all the access to exclusive online resources that I used to have in uni!).

Ugh, yeah. And I'll dye my hair radioactive green. I've been going gray since I was 14 (mostly because I was hoping to get a Cruella Devill look, or look like Ginger from Ginger Snaps), and if some bitchy teacher or creepy dude complains about "~Those other womynnn~" dyeing their hair unnatural colors, then I'm dunking my head in a vat full of dye. No way in hell would I want to be mistaken with those 'natural' snobs!

The link is in the sporking, when I discussed the article. :) It's also linked in the comments of last chapter's sporking.

So this entire chapter was just Shannon acting like a pissy bitch towards everyone 'cause they take bidding seriously and don't appreciate the beauty of a damaged urn. Terrible.

Because yes, Epona will essentially be Nyx Beta here.
Please don't tell me PC's gonna have Epona be every goddess, 'cause that made so much sense in House of Night, where Nyx was also freaking Gaea.

She thinks about her own scar, which she got when she was four and shook a pot of boiling water which splashed onto her hand. Despite the fact that water doesn't tend to slosh into nice, neat patterns, the scar ended up being star-shaped and still gets comments from people.
First, having a speshul-looking scar is a classic sign of a Sue. Second, I’ve spilled boiling water onto my hands once when I was making instant cup ramen. It hurt like hell, but it didn’t leave a scar. I call bullshit.

“too many young women seem to want to ruin their hair by dying it unnatural colors: burgundy, yellow, black. And cutting it short”
Oh noes! Dying your hair! Cutting it! Teh horror!

First of all, “burgundy, yellow, and black” are not “unnatural” hair colors.
I think he was talking about unnatural shades of red and yellow, like this and this . Dunno why he included black though.

Actually, it sounds like Zoey telling us how Neferet's natural red hair is beautiful, unlike the gross colors that happen when people dye their hair red.Never got to

It hurt like hell, but it didn’t leave a scar. I call bullshit.Yeah, burns tend to leave skin rather *shiny*. I've once tried making mac-and-cheese when I was 13, but I stupidly decided to use a really heavy pot, three-boxes worth of Kraft pasta, and a LOT of water. So when I tried to drain the pasta, I accidentally splashed a whole lot right on my stomach. It hurt like HELL but thankfully it only boiled the first layer of skin off my stomach. the burns healed up within a month and you definitely wouldn't even notice it today unless there was a really bright light showing the shiny patches

Cooking water doesn't usually get hot enough to cause burns that scar. I've had minor burns from boiling water, nothing more. Scars from hot cooking oil are more plausible, because it reaches higher temperatures and it sticks to the skin.

I think he was talking about unnatural shades of red and yellow, like when Rihanna had red hair and when Lady Gaga had bright yellow (not blonde, I'm talking about highlighter yellow) hair. Dunno why he included black though.
