Eagle Rants March 1

Rant here!


• AU: tolerant to everyone but conservative christians. Anybody wanna explain how thats ok???AU: tolerant to everyone but conservative christians. Anybody wanna explain how thats ok???

• I can walk through TDR without seeing someone I've hooked up with. Why? Because I don't do hook ups, I do relationships. I actually respect women, and treat them well. And somehow I always seem to be single???????????? Ladies, why don't you like nice guys?????????

• Annoying guy who wont shut up comes into lounge while I'm working. Turns on TV and proceeds to make comments on EVERY DAMN THING THAT HAPPENS!!!!!!!!! gtfo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• I just want a classy woman to go out with, is that too much to ask?

• @what is phonathon?" The AU Phonathon is a group of confident, self-aware students working to advance the institution they share with their peers....we also love Disney, Papa Johns, and cookies. Please bring cookies.

• I'm fed up with this world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

• weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! so excited to be living with the best ginger ever next year!

• I'm actually enjoying the Disney music at Phonathon!

• I ordered my food an hour and a half ago, and it hasn't come yet. I haven't eaten all day. Seriously, I really oughta stop pre-paying the damn tips.? • @Listen gay people FINALLY! Someone with the balls to say this.

• @Listen gay people You sir are correct. And this is coming from an LGBT supporter.

• @Listen gay people Let the left-wing ranters piss and moan. At least someone is saying enough is enough.

• Thanks for loving me even when I don't deserve it. [Editor’s Note: You’re welcome.]

• I'm going through one of those periods where nothing seems to be going right, but I don't truly have that much to complain about. I hate it so very much.

• Why are the liberal Democrats just plain mean? like you guys should be chill! I thought Democrats were chill? Don't get me wrong I like some Democrats but some of you take way too many things seriously

• @counseling center hater: Welcome back. The point is, these are counselors who are not only willing, but trained to help students.  They are not being forced to do anything. If you think you can handle your problems on your own, that's great. Please don't speak for everyone else or judge people because they can't. Your tuition is being wasted on worse.

• A suggestion for the Honorable and Distinguished members of the American University Undergraduate Senate: Please condemn the actions of the students who protested Governor Jan Brewer.

• Dear Occupy AU, CASJ, and AU Dems protesters: Your interrupting of the event with Governor Jan Brewer was an embarrassment to American University. You cannot claim that your voice is not being heard when you, hypocritically, suppress the voice of another individual. (NOTE: I am not a Republican, nor am I conservative.)

• I never thought that I'd say this, but I want meaningless sex. Now.

• LEAP DAY WILLIAM! LEAP DAY WILLIAM! CANDY FOR TEARS!

• Yes, I am liberal. Yes, I am a Democrat. Yes, I love Obama and hope he wins in 2012. BUT PLEASE... Why do all of the nicest guys on campus have to be Republicans?

• I understand people better than anyone yet no one chooses to confide in me when I try to help them out :( I wish people would give me a chance...

• @"To the obnoxious biddy..." All the AEPHIs I know are real hot and real cool

• I GLITTER BOMB ALL OF YOU MOTHER TRUCKERS!!!!

• @”I’ve taken to skipping class because this guy is, I think, sexually harassing me. It makes me uncomfortable and I tell him to stop every time, but it hasn’t. But I don’t know what to do - what if I say something and it turns into how I’m ‘sensitive’ and ‘prude’ and ‘can’t take a joke?’” That sucks. Could you try and sit in another location not next to that guy? If there are assigned seats, maybe ask the teacher if due to a personal situation you could please change your seat.

• Red, I am really glad we are rooming together next semester. I hope the housing lottery goes well since I will be in class doing a presentation for that teacher we talked about today. You are awesome and please consider taking less ridiculously long showers. Give your big boy a hug. Love, Cold, Northern State

• Fellow dr. Horrible ranter, we posted the same quote today!! At almost the same time!! This had made my life. We should do laundry and eat frozen yogurt sometime soon.

• Hughes has the best residents on campus... go honors kids and those lucky few that get to live with us. WE ROCK... also, have a great midterms week honors kids

• Went to the basketball game tonight and won FREE CHIPOTLE FOR A YEAR! But instead of announcing my prize over the loudspeaker, I got a call in the middle of the 3rd quarter from an unknown caller, so I ignored it. Turns out if you don't pick up your phone in the extremely loud arena, they give your prize away to someone else immediately instead of leaving a voicemail or something.? • Best part of moving off-campus next year? No more Eaglesecure! Man, I can't wait to have YouTube videos load faster than a dial-up connection!

• Flash, I am so glad you got a berks apartment. We all know where da party at... I hope your paper went well... Love ya, Cold, Northern State

• I was feeling pretty good about myself until I noticed you.  Now every time you avoid my gaze or ignore my presence, you just remind me of how invisible I truly am.

• @"Listen gay people..." *glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb**glitter* *bomb*

• Dear person that doesn't think Dakota Freeze is a public figure... You obviously don't know Dakota. You should get on that.

• That awkward moment when someone tries to sound smart but uses that word wrong. Now I think you're even more stupid than I did before ... awkward.

• @”All of the girls in SOC and Marketing are really stupid. How did they get into this fine institution?” So true. But it’s like that at any school. Those are the easy majors that don’t require much critical thought. Future telepromptresses of America.

• Every time I see a rant with the name "Brewer," I automatically think of Troy Brewer and not Jan Brewer.

• @"Why won’t you read my mind and realize I’ve got a huge crush on you? I’m way too shy to tell you myself." ughhhh story of my life

• @"I think about chicks every time I’m hooking up with my boyfriend. time to come out y/n?" YES the lesbians will welcome you with open arms

• RAWR!

• CABS ARE HERE!!!!!!

• @"taint rash" My mother is a dermatologist and I asked her about it and I feel like her solution carries some authority as I realize this could be a trend going about with all these bed critters I've seen lately, but my mother said that a mixture of water, oatmeal, and peanut butter combined and stirred into a cream would work to both soothe your taint and be a healthy late night (after 8 p.m. ;)) snack while you're studying! p.s. Be sure to wash your taintal region thoroughly while you bathe and pat dry as to not cause further irritation.

• Hmm...who exactly are the original people going to meet for this Tuesday@7 thing? I thought I was one of them but could be mistaken. To the original person making the meet up, to what rant were you replying to?? [Editor’s Note: Every ranter meet at the Dav at 7 on Tuesday. Wear blue.]

• @"All of the girls in SOC and Marketing are really stupid. How did they get into this fine institution?" EXCUSE ME? I am a passionate marketing AND SOC student here who just so happens to have a 3.9 GPA. I got into this fine institution because I am intelligent and a damn hard worker with high standards that I achieve time and time again. YOU are really stupid for generalizing the female students of an entire school here.

• Just found out I get to live on the same floor as Patrick Burnett next year! McDowell 6 ftw.

• Since KPU has the gall to basically invite a protest via Facebook at Angela Davis next week, can anyone who opposes having thousands of dollars of your tuition money spent on brining an accused murderer to campus please make your voices heard next Wednesday!

• Wait, wait, wait. You mean at AU there are republicans AND democrats?? Greeks AND geeds?? Single people AND people in relationships?? WHAT THE EFFING EFF??! Why are there people that dont agree with me! This is unacceptable! I'd better set them straight by portraying my opinion as fact (in eaglerants, no less)! I cant stand this kind of diversity! THIS'LL SHOW'EM!!1

• I really wish i'd rushed a frat, but now that im a sophomore it seems pointless

• I wish there were more patriotic people here. #'MERICA

• Your awesomeness, much like a chocolate chip scone, makes my heart feel warm and melty.

• Can we please be friends without you using me?

• I wish you could see how much I like you as a person and how good we would be together if you would just give me a chance. Too bad you aren't single.

• Why not just call it African-American History Month - black people are black, brown peeps are brown, white people are white..deal wit it

• conservative gentleman is an oxymoron

• the dems here support obama...they are not too liberal lest i remind you

• @"Not all liberals are hippies. Not all conservatives are rednecks."  Why do rednecks gotta be conservative? Redneck refers to poor, uneducated white farmers from the southern United States. I get your point but an we talk about regional discrimination at AU for a sec?

• if youre in greek life you pay for an exclusive click. ..enough of the bullshit. call a spade a spade. be proud if you want but at least be honest.

• Damnit no more 5$ foot longs!!!!

• Swear to god if I dont get legitimate on campus housing ie NOT THE BERKS i might have to cut a biddie. fair warning.

• I may start showing up to class early more often. :)

• Is it weird if I get off to the australian accent reader when I'm using a database to search for scholarly articles? I don't know what it is about the irregular stressed consonants that just wiggles in between my trembling knees while I compose a strong thesis. That's my "So What" baby!

• adorable, accomplished senior I'm currently dating: I'm fragile. please don't make me feel like a loser - geeky freshman you're dating

• I'm glad we're not dating anymore. I just recently discovered how high maintenance you are. And you're the guy. lawl.

• @oi lindo" - I'm a girl but it's all good :)

• liberal girl who would totally date a conservative/liberal/democrat/republican. WE EXIST.

• ER = anonymous craig's list?? [Editor’s Note: I think the doctors in the ER would be very confused if you tried to sell them your dirty futon.]

• I'm done with the paranormal activity college writing seminar I accidently signed up for. Sorry I don't believe in ghosts. get at me.

• stop selling carby things late at night in anderson!!!

• lawls to the sorority biddies. I know you judge me because I'm having great sex without shame and don't pay for friends. meow.

• SG kids who wear suits to their office hours: LOL. Luv ya because i'm friends with a bunch of you, but y'all cray!!

• anyone else just wanna flash mob in tdr???

• Stop posting quotes from different stuff. Geez, this is a place to complain, not have geek moments.

• I really hope that the AUCR's don't protest Angela whoever the hell she is (I seriously have no idea who she is).  Aren't the majority of you Christian?  Didn't Jesus say something about "turning the other cheek"?  Or do you just promote the Bible when it fits your political agenda? -A Christian

• When I walk in the spot, this is what I see Everybody stops and they staring at me I got passion in my pants and I ain't afraid to show it.  I'm sexy and I know it

• Hey male COMM students: Is it just me, or does anyone else find the LAs for the photo lab smoldering and sexy?

• @Person who's friend got DVD stolen... Maybe it's not the laptop thief, maybe it's the DVD thief...

• Dear Housing & Dining, (in a primp, british accent) While I appreciate what you have done for this school, I do not appreciate what you are doing right now. Sincerely, Sad Rising Sophomore Stuck on South Side

• You're hot. I don't think I'll ever  tell you I like you because I'll never know if your gay, or just a gay rights advocate. But screw it. I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have. -For you I will.

• Thank you god for pretty girls in sundresses. There is a reason I love spring so much.

• Oh for Pete’s sake! I just watched “To Catch A Predator” on Dateline NBC with host Chris Hansen and guess what? One of those PERVERTS looks just like me. How wack is that? Well anyways, if you see someone around campus who looks like a sex offender, he’s really not… It’s just me.

• Harry Potter Hipster Boy… I grow weak in the knees just typing that. I mean, you’re like knockin’ my socks off right now. I’ve heard you’re quite the chirpy bird too. I’d like to take you to the Davenport Lounge and maybe chitchat a little bit about our interests and hobbies. You like hip-hop dance music? My favorite is Chris Brown. Well in conclusion, let’s try to date. I’m pretty talented when it comes to hookin’ up ;)

• I’m in charge now. I speak for this family. I mean... I could if you wanted me to. I’d rather not, obviously. Don’t know what I’d say. Why do I have to be the one? I don’t need this. Why does this have to become my problem? No, I’m out. Forget it. Find somebody else. I’m sick of it. I’m sick of doing everything for this family.

• It's not easy being white, it's not easy being brown.

• "Your Uncle Gob seems to think that he saw you down at the docks today. Was that you?" "No. No. Maybe it was the other George Michael. You know, the singer-songwriter." "Yeah, that makes sense."

• Yes, cramps do suck. But birth control and pain killers can help. also, hold off on the sodium.

• really editor? "FISHES"?! Last time I checked the plural of "fish" was indeed "fish". So no, it was not one of the DG recruitment "fishes", and it wasn't one of the DC recruitment fish either. [Editor’s Note: Oh no]

• You put "Snails" by The Format and "Linger" by The Cranberries on a mix CD you gave me while we were best friends years ago. And I still can't listen to them without missing you nearly 4 years after we broke up.

• I know big/little week is supposed to be a happy time, but I've basically cried more this week than I have in months.

• Imagine if you lonely people grew a pair and actually interacted with human beings? Everyone is lonely, sack up, take some initiative in your life. You think the real world is going to give a hoot about you or your problems? You are not important, you most likely will not solve AIDs nor find a new sustainable energy source, so stop feeling entitled to people actually caring about you pathetic!

• I'm paranoid. Don't mind me.

• How come girls can experiment but guys can't? [Editor’s Note: They can.]

• Miss Lippy's Car.... is GREEN!

• I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!

• YOU. YOU ARE THE REASON I DON'T HAVE INTELLIGENT DISCUSSIONS IN THE LOUNGE. GO THE F*** AWAY.

• Why are we arguing about the ability to replace DVD's with another physical media? Why are you so upset and insistent? WHY???

• I threw off the emperor's groove. BEWARE OF THE GROOVE.

• Credit card declined for the fifth time. I guess I'm broke again, damn... Broke again, but I'm not broken.

• Penis.

• Just as an FYI to the eagle staff - the article about how to vote in different states has a graphic of west virginia, not virginia on it. You might want to change that as I doubt many AU students will be registering to vote in west virginia. also, you honestly don't know how to google a picture of virginia?

• Hughes 5 lost another fish today. A dark day for all of us. RIP.

• Rumor has it SG students are drinking in their offices at night...

• I have a splinter in the bottom of my foot. I am afraid to pull it out because last time I removed a splinter I fainted. I guess I'll just wait for my body to naturally push it out, even though it hurts to walk...

• @"To the obnoxious biddy..." you are a horrible person. that is all.

• @"To the obnoxious biddy..." you insult a person simply because they wanted to listen to music? wow, just wow.

• Why is it that every time I turn in a paper for a class the professor assigns a new one?

• I just want this week to be over.

• What are you waiting for to happen? Life is too damn short to fail to act in fear of being hurt again. I don’t want to hurt you; I care about you more than you think.  And by the way, I like the first movement much better too ;) Can’t believe I’m actually writing this.

• I always feel that there are baffling RA choices every year, and I always end up with the most pompous, conceited ones.

• Boy, I saw the way you looked at me and now I'm intrigued. [Editor’s Note: I noticed you noticing me]

• Just saw a girl riding a long board in Uggs. There is just something inherently wrong about that.

• I wish there were more than just ordinary people to play my game with!
