Beginning Notes: Drabble 3 of 3 30/07/14
badly-knitted I have never seen heard of that longest legs rule. It seemed like everything but the person who has the longest legs got the first seat with me and my family. When its a car full of kids, who can run the fastest or who is the oldest. Another one is who gets carsick, because carsickness is more milder in the front seat. When travelling with my mum it is her who gets front seat preference because she has two dodgy knees and she needs to keep them as straight as possible.
Julie Gardener and RTD were the ones doing commentary on 'Everything Changes' and were the ones making those comments about the pheromone spray. I suppose that could have been why I found it so shocking.
I've only encountered Eve Myles in two things; Doctor Who/Torchwood and Dragon Age 2, and those characters pissed me off something fierce. If you aren't aware of Ms. Myles' character in Dragon Age 2 was a companion of the PC called Merrill and she was just god-awful. Merrill wasn't one of those 'doing the wrong thing for the right reasons' characters (but that didn't stop writers from trying to past her off as one those characters) but rather a mix of 'I naively believe this isn't wrong' with a 'stereotypical teenager I'm right, everyone else is wrong'. And to make matters worse she is the only full-time companion that you can't get rid of (well aside from the narrator). You could spend the entire game telling her that what she is doing is wrong and that people will end up dead, and at the end when people have ended up dead because of her you have to comfort her and then take responsibility for her actions. Eve Myles can sure pick those roles!
I know what 'root' and 'rooting' in places that aren't Australia mean, it just that I have that very juvenile 'tehe, I spelt the word boobies on my calculator' reaction. My favourite joke involving that word was actually a play on words. It came about where there was a news story revealing that Sydney prostitutes were offering overseas tourists visiting for the Sydney Olympics discounts; the joke was; "Sydney prostitutes, rooting for Australia".
