Eagle Rants Feb. 21

Rant here!


• @”@ 8 kids girl: actually, having more kids than you can comfortably financially support IS selfish. I hope you plan on waiting until you’re financially successful and able to support 8 children before you have them. I also strongly urge you to consider adoption.” So according to your logic having 8 biological children that you can’t support is not okay, but having 8 adopted children you can’t support is fine with you. Wow screwed up priorities much. And yes, I have plenty of money for 8 kids (biological OR adopted), thank you very much.

• sorry ladies&gents but these argument rants are quite uninteresting in my opinion :/

• Why does everyone assume the person ranting about date rape was a guy? Don't you know that lawyers for date rape victims try to get a jury of more men than women because women are less sympathetic to date rape victims and are more critical of behavior leading up to the alleged date rape (because they think of what they themselves would have done in the situation).

• Oh. My god. I just saw Peter Parker.

• @"date lab": sure, why not? I like meeting new people!

• DAMN YOU, Tetris Battle... damn you.

• Trollololololololoooo

• No you as women you did not give birth to us, our mothers gave birth to us ,you had nothing to do with it.

• @original A cup girl: can I take you out to a nice dinner? Restaurant of your choice :)

• @Date Lab: I would completely be down to do this!

• I just don't want to

• @#tinypenis. Nope.  Just somebody interested in statistics and proper analogies.

• I can't make it through MGC/TDR without seeing someone I've hooked up, its somewhere in between really awkward and kind of funny.

• "As you may or may not know, Lindsay and I have hit a bit of a rough patch." "Really? When did that start?" "Well, I don't want to blame it all on 9/11, but it certainly didn't help."

• Since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women. I wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we dont we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies. And since a man can't make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one. [Editor’s Note: I almost Editor’s Noted this yesterday.]

• And I say, it's all right... da da da da da da da da da da da

• When the lights go down in the city, and the sun shines on the Bay...

• With no lovin' in our souls, and no money in our coats, you can't say we're satisfied.

• Gingers are sexy

• I am a biddy. And if being a biddy is wrong, I don't want to be right!

• I personally think the Republicans are WAY better looking than the Democrats on campus. They are very polished and polite in a very sexy way.

• All I want out of my entire life is to help troubled kids and poor people... and everyone else at AU and EagleRants talks about marriage, money, kids, and intellectual pursuits... I guess I'm just weird???

• @ I think I have an eating disorder:  I had anorexia during my senior year of high school, and it only got worse the more I tried to deny it.  Call the on-campus counseling center-- I've heard good things about them, and they might have some resources or groups you might benefit from.  Trust me, the best thing to do is take action yourself instead of having friends or family take it for you.  You've got this!

• ...Is it just me or is the "Incubator" tab missing?  (The fact that I knew which tab was missing means I'm here too often for Eagle Rants. #eaglerantsaddict #canwegetasupportgroup ?)

• you were in the gym at 1:30, wearing a blue shirt and on the mat, stretching. you're extremely attractive, and seem like a genuinely kind girl. good for you.

• @do all guys want big boobs: Your body ain't everything, hun. Plenty of guys will like you for other reasons than that. Spoken from experience.

• @"For every man-rant against women involving birth..."- You are not only a feminazi, but also possess the intelligence, and rational thinking skills of a sea slug. The sheer ignorance and idiocy accompanying this rant makes me pity you, and hope that a large vehicle puts you out of your misery. You clearly do not understand basic biology (eggs must be fertilized), but you also seem to think that dead people have the ability to feel, or form opinions.

• As a straight and single guy, I would totally be up for an Eagle Date Lab.

• I took a girl out on a few dates, shes into me. yet still to scared to make the move. /socially awkward

• I feel like the only girl I know who has the typically-thought-masculine problems of being afraid of marriage and not having much faith in the concept of life-long monogamy. As a result I have a tendency to think negatively of boys who want things like marriage or are more romantically inclined than me. Any other girls on campus feel this way? Or am I really as alone in this as I feel?

• @I think I have an eating disorder I feel the same :/ I'd say we should make a group but that would be more acknowledgement than I want to give it. If we ignore it, it goes back to normal eventually, right? Maybe?

• I've always been pretty self conscious about my A-B sized boobs, but after all this time at AU, seeing and hearing about the comparative male specimens (i.e. penises), I'm nowhere near as self-aware. I mean, there's a chance I'll disappoint them, but there's solid chance they'll be a bit disappointing too. And my boobs size only matters for aesthetic appeal- as long as they're hand-sized or larger they fulfill their function well. Whereas... Well I'm sure you understand, rant-readers.

• @ person who wants to say Hi again: If you guys used to talk a lot, s/he probably wouldn't mind saying hello back :)

• AU, Y U NO give me Presidents' day off??

• @Do AU girls fake orgasms: I don't think it has anything to do with the school you attend... On a sidenote, I do fake it sometimes.

• I hope you know that although this is the most interesting way I could possibly be recovering, I'm still pretty much an unstable mess. Please excuse me if I'm confusing- it's just because I'm confused.

• I love the date lab idea!

• Confession: I have always wanted to have sex in the back stairwell of the library.

• If I pay $50,000 to go to AU I should at least get professors who actually know how to teach and grade.

• @" I like you, I really do. We used to talk a lot last semester, but then we stopped talking. It was probably my fault, and I really want to message you again, but I fear it’ll be awkward because we haven’t talked in nearly 2 months." text me. It has been awhile. I liked you too. we should hang out again.

• Tuesday. 7pm. Dav.

• "I think I have an eating disorder, but I’m scared if I formally admit it then it will get even worse." If you think you have an eating disorder, you definitely do. Admitting it might be scary, but it won't make it worse. In fact it's the first step to getting better. (Not that recovery is easy- I've been living with an eating disorder for 3 years now). Please try and get better and stay safe. I'm sending you a hug via eaglerant. [Editor’s Note: As am I. All the hugs. Should you chose to give them a call, the number for the Counseling Center is 202 885 3500]

• I would totally be down for a dating site like that! It sounds hilarious

• Glad a student resigned from his job in the Maryland House of Delegates on principle when his boss refused to support marriage equality. But seriously, what kind of Legislative Director doesn't know how their boss is going to vote until less than 2 hours before a vote on major legislation.

• Now all we do is acknowledge each other a few times a week when we would talk and smile and occasionally hang out around campus together almost 5 times a week last semester. I know you are graduating, and you need and want to move on to bigger and better things, but please don't forget me. And occasionally check in with me to see if I am OK. It would mean the world. Hope you have a great leap into the real world, I won't be soon after you. Save enough for me.

• I get unreasonably excited to see all of the prospective students here for preview days. They're too cute.

• The next time someone asks is he has a small dick should I just admit it and tell them that it was so small I couldn't even feel it when he was in me....

• All you girls on the treadmills, make sure you do strength training as well. You're as bad as the dudes who lift to get big but get winded after half a mile.

• Can some WOMAN please explain to me why it's OK to judge men on naturally inherited physical traits (I.E. height, complexion, etc), but it's shallow and somehow cruel to judge women on their breast size? Last time I checked you can't control biological attraction and it's not our fault that in most cases larger breasts set off biological urges. This double standard is ridiculous.

• @"Do AU girls fake orgasms often?" Yes. And it's definitely not just AU girls.

• @”@ 8 kids girl: actually, having more kids than you can comfortably financially support IS selfish. I hope you plan on waiting until you’re financially successful and able to support 8 children before you have them. I also strongly urge you to consider adoption.” Are YOU considering adoption? Adoption is great and all but no, I am not considering adoption. I want 8 kids with my amazing qualities and my partners amazing qualities. I will have plenty of time and resources to be a wonderful mom to them.  Now please take your unwanted opinions elsewhere.

• It’s really not that expensive for people like us to have kids.  If you go to AU and have a college degree, you will be fine with 8 kids. If you live in a nice area, then you can find great public schools for the kids. 8 kids can wear hand-me-down clothes from the other kids.  And they can get scholarships to college. If ranter girl wants 8 kids, then let her have 8 kids.  What is with people on here trying to control other people’s lives so that everyone have the same homogenous life path?

• I was so disappointed by the Sig Eps I heard openly making fun of their own brothers in the library the other night. I have a lot of respect for most of the guys I know in Sig Ep, but you two made me happy I am not in greek life. I would feel betrayed if anyone I called "brother" talked about me like that.

• Come home.

• Watching you slowly self-destruct...and feeling powerless to stop it

• Ah.  So ANOTHER condom in the showers, Anderson 6?  Am I the only one who has a problem with this?

• @how do I keep my bf interested: You do realize you're a women, don't  you? Your bf's libido is effectively twice yours. Unless you  are incredibly ugly and/or have the personality of a mule, the implied solution above alone should be enough.

• I like all sized boobs

• STRAIGHT WOMEN OF AU! I am a nice, non-douche guy who happens to NOT BE GAY! We are out there... maybe the problem is you're looking in all the wrong places for us.

• best part of running linux: no SafeConnect BS

• Type your rantThere were zwei peanuts, walking down the straße, und one was 'assaulted'... peanut here!

• STAY. AWAKE.

• if you want someone to cuddle with, maybe you should try to meet people instead of complaining? kay thanks that'd be great

• Dear Ex-Boyfriend, THANK YOU for showing me you haven’t changed while we were out the other night. It was just what I needed to remind me why I'm with my current boyfriend. He's 1000x the man you'll ever be. By the way ladies, I recommend avoiding AU guys if you ever want a guy to treat you right. That’s not to say there aren’t exceptions, but for the most part, they’re jerks who use the gender ratio here as an excuse to act like a**holes.

• Boys, do I really look so different with my hair up in a ponytail that you can't recognize me? Really?

• RCCs ARE ANTI-WOMEN

• Chicken fingers...with CLUB SAUCE.

• My name is Judge

• I want to cry so bad, but I don't think I can spare the moisture

• People at AU should spend less time complaining and more time trying to actively solve their problems.  I completely agree that AU has an awful bureaucratic system.  But if you just ask for help, they'll help you.  No one is looking to screw you over at this school

• Anybody else at this school dig Prince? [Editor’s Note: I bleed purple.]

• Boys are stupid.

• My favorite color is flourescent beige and I'm here to get my GED...

• I'm sick. Come cuddle with me.

• They were Spanish.  Trust me.  Also, congratulations on taking a social science class as an SIS and/or SPA.  I'm a real scientist.  Pwned

• We need some good ole'fashioned union busting at this university.

• I saw James Wigley sitting on the quad and he caught me starin'. he just looked up nodded and flashed me a peace sign. oh yes.

• There's no guarantee that this life is easssy When there's no light to break up the dark, thats when IIIIIIII loook at you. WHen the waves are flooding the shore and I cannnt find my way home anymore thats when IIIII loooooook aaat yooouu.

• Mario.  The way he says butter.  It turns me on.

• My boyfriend informs me that guys jerk off everyday (or close to everyday). Is this true??

• I'm scouting the prospective students for hot straight guys that I can beg, bribe, or pay to come here.

• Justin Bieber ranter.  Thank you, reading that just changed my day for the better.  Never Say Never!

• It's me, Mario!! Just kidding.... It's only me...Luigi Yeah, the other brother... ^Whoever wrote that (Lol I think?) is awesome!!

• I'm not a cold person, but I have trust issues particularly regarding my personal space.  People have to earn the right to touch me, but all the guys I meet are off put by it.  It's frustrating, it's not like I don't want a guy, I'm just big on trust.  Suggestions?

• @Well I can’t even address the idiots who think there are no dangers to binge drinking.ARE YOU SERIOUS. a woman who is raped is raped because she is in THE PRESENCE OF A RAPIST. If I drink until I pass out with a normal man, I will not be raped. If I drink until I pass out with a rapist, I will be raped. Notice the variable there?

• There is a striking resemblance between Tim McBride and a meerkat. Picture him just strutting around and scampering all over the place on Meerkat Manor. You know he'd be the pack leader.

• @I think I have an eating disorder. I love you dear, please get help. Recovery was the best thing that ever happened to me.

• I never wished on 11:11 until I wanted you to kiss me. Now I can't stop wishing for something that will never happen. I wish on everything: fallen eyelashes, pennies, 11:11, 12:34, 2:22, ad infinitum.

• Every time I read a Conor Shapiro article, I fall more in love with him.

• I know I'm probably going to get flak for this but is it wrong for people who are over the age of 18 to be expected to make adult decisions? If your idea of a good time is getting drunk, and then putting yourself in a position where people tend to get date raped, you should probably figure out why you feel the need to do that. I’m not saying its women’s fault, I’m saying that if you know a situation could be bad regardless of how you act, don’t get yourself into it.

• The florist ads on the top of the Eagle are so oddly phrased and weird... Would you like some Freedom from Ecuador with your sexy red roses?

• I really like the idea of recording "It Gets Better" videos at the end of each production of "Bare."

• What the hell is going in the mcdonalds?

• February 21. Already procrastinating my Capstone hardcore. April is going to be awesome.

• I have never wanted Eagle Rants to be posted as much as I do right now. #braindeadinbender [Editor’s Note: Given that this is my second time posting them today (the first time EagleSecure freaked out and deleted everything), I’m right there with you]

• We

• My professor repeatedly adjusts the sheet on the overhead projector as a nervous habit. It shouldn't seem like such a big issue, except it's DRIVING ME NUTS.

• I won! I won! I won! *victory dance*

• My family is driving through DC in a few days. I'm not sure they're going to stop to see me :/

• I didn't really like you and I'm not sure why you thought that I did. But I'm definitely glad we're no longer together.

• All I want for my 21st Birthday is a steamy, passionate kiss. Studying Abroad in the Middle East might hamper that just a little bit.

• To all of the out of shape, sick, and disgustingly unhygienic people who frequent JFC. I HATE YOU! Sincerely, An In shape gym participant who recently caught something from you. Go back to your holes!

• One day my frantic refreshing will pay off.

• Where can I find information on how much funding each school/department gets? I'm curious how much SIS allots per student versus one of the sciences, which have lab classes.

• One day my frantic refreshing will pay off.

• I want my Eagle Rants, Eagle Rants, Eagle Rants; I want my Eagle Rants, Eagle Rants, Eagle Rants; A-U Eagle Rants rock. (Most of the time.)

• It's 6:10 PM! POST THE DAMN RANTS! [Editor’s Note: They’ll be up eventually. In the meantime, might I recommend the rest of the internet]

• Condom wrapper in the Anderson elevator... classy.
