Eagle Rants Nov. 29

•but seriously, if you ask for someone's number, USE IT!

•@Datemyschool.com makes me feel like a creeper... Did the guy's name start with a D. Because that was me. You don't have to feel ashamed.

•I saw Nick Rangos go way out of his way and hold the door for a group of people. Just when we thought he couldn't get any sweeter #gentlemanpresident

•@thanksgiving revelation about your friends.. yea, it's true. I'm a senior and I still feel that way every time I come home. it's ok, don't feel bad.

•Sometimes I wish you would just kiss me to get rid of all this tension.

•Dear creepy graduate student on shuttle, I really wish you would just leave me alone. I will not put out. All freshmen girls are not biddies.

•@Gerbil not mouse: I took that picture and I'm not even on the Eagle. Trust me, it was a mouse. Don't hate because my phone camera sucks!

•#mystrangeaddiction: running. I can't stop. It's a real addiction. And I'd like someone to go with.

•"Things I missed over break: friends and places that accept Eaglebucks instead of real people money." --- You pay your friends Eaglebucks?

•If you're bi and nobody knows it clap your hands! *clap clap*

•AU's lack of a heterosexual male population caused me to be slut-osaurus over Thanksgiving. Thanks AU.

•Is it normal to get really bad headaches on a daily basis?

•The Roommate

Standing at Six Feet Tall. He by the Window, me by the Wall. At Two AM, on his Computer he’d Dwell. The Roommate from the Pits of Hell.

Contacted me online. Things seemed just fine. Lived thirty minutes away. Decided to meet the very next day.

Standing at Six Feet Tall. He by the Window, me by the Wall.

He thought we were a good match. At this, I jumped with glee. Seemed like a good catch. Finally, a person who liked me.

At Two AM, on his Computer he’d Dwell. The Roommate from the Pits of Hell.

•The Roommate Part Two

First month went smooth. He found a girl to charm and sooth. I hung with friends, I stayed out of the room. It was obvious, he was pounding her womb.

Standing at Six Feet Tall. At Two AM, on his Computer he’d Dwell.

He went away for a weekend. Many texts he and the girl would send. I got a text too, made my head twirl. “Stay Away From My Girl.”

He by the Window, me by the Wall. The Roommate from the Pits of Hell.

•The Roommate Part Three

I find a girl. She liked me back. My first in Bed. He and his girl start to fight and banter. He cried. I hugged and cried with him. I was his comforter. When my girl broke it off, I cried. He only patted my head.

He by the Window, me by the Wall. At Two AM, on his Computer he’d Dwell.

•The Roommate Part Four

He was a cook. He had a bunch of books. I couldn’t cook, but I brought the fridge. He cooked often, which garnered floor fame and looks. He hogged the fridge. it was time to set boundaries. Create a wall and bridge.

Standing at Six Feet Tall. The Roommate from the Pits of Hell.

I walked in one day to a scene. My desk was in the hallway, the door was ajar. The girl and he rearranged the room, saying it would be more clean. My space was limited. This time they had gone too far.

•The Roommate Part Five

The Roommate from the Pits of Hell. He by the Window, me by the Wall.

Despite all this, I invited him to a Christmas party. He brought cookies, his smile, and his sister. His sister was cute, people enjoyed him, and his cookies were hearty. If she wasn’t fifteen, just to get him back, under the mistletoe I’d have kissed her.

At Two AM, on his Computer he’d Dwell. Standing at Six Feet Tall.

•The Roommate Part Six

This year, he decided to room elsewhere. Fine by me, rooming with you never crossed my mind. Now he’s rooming alone, as an RA. Why should I care? He’s living the life. I’m trying to repair the damage. I thought he was kind.

•The Roommate By: The Polish Poet

•Baby you, you got what I need...But you say he's just a friend

•Phonathon without song requests? I'm calling OSHA.

•How my dad asks me if I have a boyfriend: "Have you met anyone interesting?" #awkwardfamilymoments

•Really AU? I knew our IT department sucked. But having to download SafeConnect 5 times in an hour goes beyond ridiculous. Im not even disconnecting from the internet!!

•Always the best content from these prodgoiius writers.

•Dear roommate, I used to like you but now I don't. You sleep at inopportune times like while the sun is out and you chew like a heifer. Finally, that one time you convinced me to buy bean dip with hint of jalapeno was a fail...epic fail. You're so ignit about life....heifer.

•I suppose that sounds and semlls just about right.

•I should've had that conversation with you earlier in the semester, but it wasn't until before Tgiving did I realize exactly what it was that I felt about you, or what I was going to say. Well, the past is the past. All I can do is to try and focus on the now. I will try and act as mellow as possible, but I just want him to realize what this is-and to realize I did all I could-I don't want to push-It's HIS turn. 3 weeks until 4 weeks too late....

•@ENTRAPMENT: no one's making you stay here. If you don't feel that you're being well-served by education, then leave! Go, do what you want! I personally don't feel like I know what I want to do with my life, and I like reading and intellectualizing. Sorry for being a bad person...

•I really wish I could like you back. I'm sorry, I don't know what to do.

•I could read a book about this whiotut finding such real-world approaches!

•Oh snap, I just learned that there was once a fraternity at AU called Swagger. I swear to God I'm not lying.

•Thanks for spending time on the cmupoter (writing) so others don't have to.

•Did you hear the one about the broken pencil? Never mind, it's pointless. (courtesy of my friend)

Rant here!
