Eagle Rants: October 13, 2012

• @boyfriend gets aggressive during sports games: When he starts up again net time remind him that it is just a game. And that there are much more important things to get angry about like wars, genocide, human rights abuses, child soldiers, poverty, people dying of curable diseases because they lack access to health care, etc. It he doesn't realize the trivial nature of a sports game, he is not a keeper and not worth procreating with.

• I love everyone at this school. So glad I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to go to AU. People whining about how you don't like the ice cream selection can stfu. That is beyond first world problems.

• Gary Johnson 2012! Legalize and tax marijuana to fix the deficit! Stop spending billions on wars and foreign military bases in places that don't want American bases there! Johnson has a better economic track record than Romney and a better civil rights record than Obama. Google/wiki him.

• Neil Kerwin perpetually looks like someone stole his Jello pudding.

• Guys: How much can a girl text u without being annoying? My bf never answers my texts and it makes me feel unloved. But he calls me every night. So maybe he's just not a texter? How much texting is too much? We are LDR btw. And we do not skype. Just two hours of phone calling a night. And texts and fb messages during the day

• My roommates just caught me coming out if the bathroom with my phone, and they definitely think I was sexting. But I was really just taking a picture of my traps for the internet :(.

• STOMP STOMP STOMP. Hark. There are dinosaurs in the hallway. Are they looking for food? New shoes with softer, squishier soles? Maybe just a simple friend? I hope to never know.

• @ methodist ranter. I agree!! I love the methodists in fact im at the lord of the rings marathon lock in right now. :) I love this community so much. so friendly! Im so glad I joined this semester ^^

• Dear all democrats who think Biden did such a great job: the utter disrespect and condescending arrogance he exhibited is demonstrative of the general liberal mentality...can't win on the merits, so just talk over everyone. Really sad that this is what your party has become.

• I know it's lame to go on to eagle rants to talk about this but I really like my guy friend and I know for sure he's not into me and it's just upsetting because I know we would be perfect for each other because we get along great anyways.

• You say that you don't understand what guys want. Honestly, I can't speak for all guys. But I know what I want... I just want you to be happy. I've realized tonight that that's all I've wanted all these years. I can't believe I never understood till now.

• I thinly the editor ranted a lot of fake rants on the 11th. C'mon stabbing with scissors dude would've made the eagle, so would have the guy who tried to light up in the mud box, the hole in the quad,and the blood that no one saw outside. [Editor’s Note: Me thinly the ranter doth protest too much]

• @Lesbian meeting: HELLS YEAH! We need an fb group too, bc sometimes it's too hard to tell who is a lesbian or just super friendly.

• Listening to Taylor Swift. Agreeing with everything she says. "We are never getting back together," "I should have known you were trouble,"...oh look who's on Facebook! Facepalm.

• I don't understand how people genuinely bond with others when they're high all the time.

• I've liked--no--I've loved you since the very first moment we met, yet it's been over a year and you still haven't looked my way. I feel like I can see into your inner soul sometimes, but have you ever seen mine? You are so rough on the outside, you can be rude and mean, but when you open up a bit your sensitive side just comes bounding out. Maybe we wouldn't work as a couple, but I just want to try you on, see what it would be like. I LOVE YOU, please don't transfer!

• I would have asked you out by now, but you can lash out and be so rude it hurts. I'm afraid you won't react like the Mr. Sensitive I love, but the Mr. Tough Guy who likes to embarrass people to make himself feel better. Maybe if you had more confidence that girls (this girl in particular) really really like you then you would look around with your piercing blue eyes and see me. And you would soften up a little, and then maybe have to courage to let me ask you out. Don't you dare transfer.

• I just want to get back to school and see my crush. But at the same time, being home is so nice and there is food here.

• Slam? Honey, you go to AU not a state school, don't kid yourself.

• @ Closeted gay guy using Grindr Honestly, the best thing I think you can do is come out. I'm not sure what your family background is like, but this is AU and it's a fairly decent climate to come out in. Plus, coming out was probably the most liberating thing I've done in my life. I'm sure once you're honest with people about who you are (and if you really are ""intelligent, genuine, masculine, and attractive"") then you will have guys lining up to hang out with you.

• @"pretty girl with the teal bookbag"- what does she look like?

• Ok we hooked up once or twice. That does not mean we had a "relationship." Get over yourself.

• Anyone else woken up by that excessively long speaker test this morning?

• I love AU. 7 dates with 5 women in two months, and the girl I like actually just asked me out. I love life. -Wild A

• You still suck editor!

• Totally SMITTEN by the Subway worker at Eagle's Nest. You know who you are. #I'llGiveYouAClueYou'reTheOneWhoPutsOnTheLettuce

• WHY THE HELL DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME EAGLE'S NEST IS NOW STOCKING TAB?!

• Hmmmm. Our mascot is supposedly named "Clawed." Anybody else think it's an alias for his true identity, Claude? #TheFrenchAreComing #IThoughtThisWasAmericanUniversity

• @ Girl with the crush on Alexander Hamilton: Woah. I am also a girl with a crush on Alexander Hamilton. :3 Twinsies, yo! I feel you, I feel you.

• @Team lesbian meetup: YES.

• The lal knockoff is on the AU memes page under "posts by others"

• @"How do I find the lal knockoff????" Someone posted about it on the AU memes facebook page

• I know I'm going to fall in love with you. I just wish I were attractive and that you would feel the same way when it happens.

• I feel like hangovers is a bigger metaphor about life, that you can't have anything good without a little bit of bad coming along with it.

• ALL WE ARE SAYING IS GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

• You make me weak at the knees, too bad you are way out of my league
