Eagle Rants: September 28, 2012

• I wish it was socially acceptable to poop in trash cans so I didn't have to walk allllll the wayyyy down the hall to take a dump...

• @“If you’re really randomly referring to the Dunkin’ Donuts variety, then I’m all over that shiz. But only the chocolate ones, honestly."" [Editor’s Note: I appreciate your honesty.] nooooooooo!!! The card game Munchkins. :( #Forever Alone

• @"There is a Gamer’s Club that meets every Saturday on the second floor of MGC. Plenty of Munchkin up there." yessss!! I'm sure it was posted on previous eagle rants, but I just wanted to make sure: are the times you all meet pretty consistent? "

• aaaagggghhffff, I can't have you but I WANT YOU SO BADLY. Srsly bro every time I see your face I wanna drop my pants. I feel so guilty for even having these thoughts. What makes it worse is that I know youd totally be down... ARGH #ldrproblems

• @The ranter with an annoying debater friend: I KNOW! I have a friend from high school (he was class of '08 and I was '10, so this was a while ago) who I used to know, and he STILL texts me all the friggin' time to "debate" with him about stupid stuff. He's so argumentative. The problem is that he went on to study construction while I'm here at AU, so at this point my understanding of the world is a little more refined than his. Plus he used “XD” all the time, and it pisses me off!

• As a guy, I don't mind at all if a girl asks me out somewhere. If you're cute and decently nice, no guy on the face of the earth is going to say no. I usually take a little more traditional stance on this type of thing (making the first move, paying for the first date, etc), but if you want something to happen, sometimes you're going to have to take the initiative. Good luck :)

• Dear Liberals R. Tools: I've seen your posts on other articles, and you bring up "taking it in the butt" quite often. Don't worry honey, we liberals are here for you when you are ready to admit your true sexual desires ;)

• @how do I join the beekeeping club? You don't.

• F*cking b*tch at the library. You all suck. But you think you don't. Typical.

• are there any asexy people at AU??

• Sometimes I just sit in class and think about the stupidity that goes on around me.

• @“I miss Tim McBride” I do hope you realize that Sarah is the same person inside, right?" Really great point, but I think they were referring to missing Sarah as President and just didn't realize you are supposed to refer to Sarah as Sarah regardless of the tense.

• Open Mic Guy, I actually have plans this Saturday-I promised some friends I'd go into the city. What about Monday evening or Tuesday afternoon? ~I don't know how to sign this-I need a snazzy name.

• @sexual assault survivors I'm not one, but try to get in contact with PEERS. I'm v disappointed by the sexual assault forum, but they seem earnest enough. Also, look up ""U ASK DC"" online. Their website can get you in contact with someone.

• @mayo ...and with that, my vagina has just spontaneously closed up, perhaps permanently.

• @CAUS is unoriginal At least they're trying to do something. It seems these days that "rich kids" can't try to do anything without being called out of touch and overprivileged. If people can't take action without being attacked, then they WILL just keep sitting on their ass.

• “I keep getting the urge lately to be strong and ask a guy to hang out..." Do it. You will never expand your horizons unless you push your boundaries.

• IAFKAFK;FLDAKLJ WHY ARE EAGLE RNTS NOT UP TIL LIKE ONE OR SMETHING???

• Italia, Well, perhaps I shall join with them. At least they produce something other than carbohydrate and metrosexual men. Besides, I've always been partial to Turkish men. And we've already established that I know how to get your average Russian. ;) Beaucoup d'amour!

• @very much in love So you can be in love AND have a bottle of wine? I think not! Many of us would be happy to have even one of those things.

• @want to ravage a republican ...so I'm not the only super liberal who is inexplicably attracted to Republican douchebags (and more recently, libertarians)? Perhaps it's related to the fact that they look like they make such an effort to look put together-it's like they're asking to be completely ravaged.

• Does the new comptroller have any background in finance? Just a thought.

• @@suspenders guy lives on your floor No clue if we're talking about the same suspenders guy, BUT regardless, I am *super* jealous. Don't rub it in!

• Can we *please* standardize the rants time just a little bit? I ranted at 10 pm, but all my rants are bumped to tomorrow's because the rants went up super early (as opposed to 3 am yesterday.)

• ....please tell me the library food snitch guy is a volunteer. the thought of any tuition $ going towards a guy who has twice (on 2 DIFFERENT FLOORS of the library!) harrassed me about the snack 'policy' is sickening!

• There's a really cute girl on my floor, but when I texted her some dude answered. Salty...

• Nice try, Lit majors, we all know you're not that hot! =)

• Can CAUS keep having pancake dinner nights? I will sign whatever petition they put in front of me for more pancakes.

• Dear hipster guy in my world politics class, You're really attractive and smart and have fantastic taste in music. Keep up the good work.

• Fire Adrienne Pine. Hire a professor who actually knows how to act professional.

• Dear girl running past me in Hughes belting out show tunes at 11 pm. Just.....no. No.

• Can we stop ranting about how much we all need cuddle buddies and someone actually make a good AU dating site already? Eagle Rants ain't gonna solve anyone's problems, and DMS sucks.

• Too much of a hell week! Can't wait for Euro Night and the weekend!

• @"Dr. Pine...Learn what you're talking about." Actually, check your syllabus. It clearly says that the movie was for September 21 for the TF class. NOT for September 25. She changed the schedule around so she could go on Katie Couric. Why couldn't she change the schedule around for her freaking sick baby.

• Those two really irritating chicks that never leave your dorm room! so frustrating

• All I want is a cuddle buddy and oreos. HIT ME UP

• South side Letts= Letto. North side Letts= hotel. Don't call yourself the Letto if you're from the North side, northsiders!

• Why does everyone give Mitt such a hard time? He knows how to fix our economy and he is so much better than Obama. Romney 2012!!!!

• WHY ARE THERE SO MANY BEES???

• To all fans of tolerance and anti-discrimination: Y U NO TOLERATE CHRISTIANS AND CONSERVATIVES?

• All in favor of making EagleRants also the new LikeALittle say aye!

• does anyone else's stomach feel weird this week? and does anyone else feel that TDR was especially worse than usual this week? i'm thinking there may be a correlation.

• Jumping on this rants versus raves bandwagon: I need to rave about the Leo 4 lounge! You lounge regulars are awesome! This is my perfect study space whenever my own lounge gets too crazy. There're always kind, inclusive people around who are also studying hard. What a positive environment. : )

• Im still shocked so many people have a crush on you. Youre adorable but your so strange. And you have terrible taste in music. That's 2 strikes right there!

• This rant is about you.

• My ovaries hurt :( screw Fallopian tubes and mother nature. Screw everything I just want some rocky road ben & jerrys and some movie theater popcorn with extra salt and butter. And a cuddle buddy please

• I've seen so many attractive soccer players, swimmers, and runners this semester!! Where have all of you been hiding??

• @mudbox cheese eater baby, you're not alone.

• @france and italy 'muricaaaaaa

• fire play anyone? only serious applicants need apply. ;)

• @"said no virgin ever" Actually most non-virgins aren't off having casual sex. Almost all sexually active people have sex in the context of a loving relationship. And if you are really ignorant enough I not know that sex causes attachment then you need to do some basic googling on "hormones" and "oxytocin".

• @france and italy can we be allies? love usa

• It's not "patriarchy" to be in a loving relationship you crazy feminazi. Studies show people in loving relationships are much happier and healthier than people who have casual sex. So have fun being used for practice by guys. Sounds like real female progress lol

• Goat cheese > feta cheese

• @humans are not a monogamous species: Please take a basic evolutionary biology class. Men have an evolutionary interest in spreading their seed because they produce millions of sperm per hour. Women have an evolutionary interest in finding a committed relationship because they have a finite number of eggs and it takes 9 months for each one to turn into a baby. Having casual sex and being dominated by the male evolutionary agenda does not make you a feminist. quite the opposite.

• Why is it "sick" to watch Army Wives? jw. If it helps people feel less lonely why do you care what tv shows people watch? Hater much?

• Guys in long term relationships: what would get you to propose? Like what woul need to happen first or what would your gf have to do to get you to propose? # tired of waiting

• Even the bears think you're dumb and you are one. ?• “I think the most upsetting thing about the whole breastfeeding scandal is that she wasn’t winking back at me"

• I eat a bowl of sunshine for breakfast every morning. and every morning i burn my tongue

• If only our feelings for other people were actually strings connecting us to them, and if we wanted to stop feeling anything about that person, we could just cut the string.

• Dear roommate: If you are going to wake up ridiculously early please do not turn on all the lights make an absurd amount of noise, wake me up to ask me to help you fix your straightener, and then tell me "it's ok you can go back to sleep now",while you play music. some of us would like more than 3 hours of sleep. thanks.

• This chin business needs to go away.

• @girl who wants to ask a guy out. It's 2012. I don't know of any guys (myself included) who wouldn't love being asked out. Otherwise we male-folk play the "well does she like me?" game, and (based solely on my experience) that game usually ends in heartbreak and despair for us. So just ask us out

• @"only one that buys the string cheese" - no way, i'm all over that stuff too! it's the perfect snack

• Sexism and Racism are hilarious

• @"You constantly remind everyone..." Excuse you? She left, now. Meanwhile, we're all wishing YOU would leave, because when she DOES get into the discussions, she actually contributes something instead of censuring us. Grow up. You're far more arrogant than she ever was.

• I mean, you were hot already, but for some reason the fact that you sleep in class makes me so much more attracted to you.

• Greek life would be so much better if the groups could be small and actually require loyalty and friendship.

• You asking me to study together made me smile so much :) Thank you ^^

• I 2fix'd the faucets of the men's bathroom in the basement of the library. Now they have pressure!

• Asked someone on the shuttle bus if it smelled like lunch meat. Regret: Palpable Awkward level:87 Dork level: Unsustainable See owners manual for reboot details.

• ATTENTION: anyone who feels overwhelmingly lonely, I think we should all meet up some day.

• Refresh Facebook... Refresh Twitter... refresh tumblr.... Repeat

• Rich people who pretend to be less privileged than they are. They're everywhere.

• I just want to go somewhere private where I can be alone and cry. I don't need help or support-- that would make me feel worse. I just want to someplace on campus where I can cry without anyone seeing or hearing me.... know any good places?

• My perfect man is the guy on Secret Princes who has a British accent, nice, and charming. If you're him, FIND ME.
