Eagle Rants: October 2, 2012

• @ "netflix is really the devil in a really cleverly marketed affordably packaged disguise" THE POWER OF ON DEMAND COMPELS YOU! THE POWER OF ON DEMAND COMPELS YOOOOU!

• Iran, We have had a rough time in the past. I'm not sure that I'm ready for such an alliance. Ditch the nukes and get back to me? ;) America

• @ "Whipits are extremely bad for you." When a problem comes along You must whip it Before the cream sets out too long You must whip it When something's goin' wrong You must whip it

• @ Lindsey, will you marry me? -Michael My name is Lindsey, and I'm a man. I'm sorry, you're too kind, but you chose poorly.

• I can't tell whether or not I have feelings for you...not that it would matter seeing that you only hook up anyways...

• I swear everywhere I am, you're there. Even off campus. I don't understand this. Why universe, why??

• It must be winter in my heart

• whatever people say I am, that's what I'm not

• to the girl who sits uncomfortably close to everyone in my college writing class, it's called personal space... k thanks.

• Just wish I knew if I did anything wrong, or if I was different you'd still be around, or if I'd been where you were we'd be together, or if I'm just not worth it

• Hot Italian guy in my World Politics class, please run shirtless. k thanks.

• I love when you smile

• I hate TDR so much that I have the freshman 15 in reverse...

• Oh...so you have a boyfriend...grrreat

• I wonder how many of the showers on campus were covered in neon beezy paint after Day Glow.... ew

• AU Fondler: Those asses were fat.

• @ "I’m sad that you’re dating someone, and I’m not sure if I can hang out with you anymore. We clearly want different things from this relationship.” I'm confused.. Is there an already established relationship of the more than friends nature going on between you already and the person this is directed at is dating someone else? Or what?

• I just like to watch you guys...

• I used to think I was asexy, but then I realized that I'm a lesbian who is just really dorky/awkward/ thus far incapable of landing a date.

• Italy, (And also France, I suppose). I agree with France. Austria has been up in my crannies for years; you and Germany have proven nothing but disappointments. As is French and Italian chocolate... If you ever want to experience some *real* dessert, I'll be here. Right on your borders. Watching. Waiting. -Switzerland P.S. If I were you, Italy, I'd invite Austria into MY Piedmont area any day. P.P.S. Shut up North Korea, nobody takes your nukes seriously.

• How long does it take for someone to realize that they're wrong and apologize? To say hey, I really screwed with your life, and I'm sorry. I was selfish, I learned a lesson, and I was wrong. Not that it effects you now, but in the future, I plan to never disregard someone's feelings the way I disregarded yours.

• I used to love Tavern and their friendly "TENDAS" loving workers. Literally the worst service I ever experienced today - during an off time no less! - both with wait time and rudeness. F*** you, Tavern.

• Today could not have been suckier.

• Shoutout to the girl with the beige dress who ate dinner at TDR tonight (Monday, maybe around 7 or later? I'm late posting this). You looked awesome; your outfit was super cute and so were you, but I felt too shy to go up and compliment you in person.

• Eagle Rave in support of Chicken Tendas! -Tavern Frequenter

• "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." -Friedrich Nietzsche

• Why are all the guys here taken already? its only been a month and a half

• wait did someone just do a marriage proposal over eaglerants.. this is going down in AU history

• "minority who thinks racism is funny" congrats on your internalized racism but you don't speak for the rest of us.

• "Why must a random person yell/grunt from the windows of Anderson-Centennial every single night?!" YES. What is that noise? I hear it in Hughes.

• This campus is a constant game of gay or European...

• @"At least there are plenty of conservatives to laugh at as well!!"- are there?

• SIS not open past 11 are sh**ing . Maybe if the library wasn't so disproportionaly small compared to the student body students wouldn't be forced to seek alternative studying areas

• @Eagle ranting women: just make a move on these guys you're into! Speaking as a man, we can be pretty bad at picking up signals.

• Nitrous oxide is not an addictive drug. But if we're going to count psychological addictions as addictions rather than just actual biologocal addictions, then I hope you are telling people to never ever smoke pot. And there is a difference between drug use and drug abuse. I'm guessing you drink alcohol. Well I don't. I do nitrous to de-stress. And thanks for your touching story, but anecdotes are not scientific evidence.

• @god can't die: How do you know? Just because it hasn't happened yet is not evidence that it never will happen in all of eternity. But I do wish I could live in the comfortable box of dogma that you seem to enjoy. Life would be much simpler.

• Bring back top ranter!

• I'm so lonely. But I'm scared to make friends because I don't want to answer a basic question that everyone asks when you meet someone. #stuck

• @"We're not loving in a Jane Austen novel". hahaha. Thanks for replying. I have thought about proposing to him, but I really want him to do it. And he knows that. I talk about our future together all the time. He doesn't really say anything back, just changes the subject. He did say a few years ago that he wants to get married after we're done with school. But we both finish grad school this year! I don't know what else to do without resorting to nagging him to propose, which is so unromantic. :(

• Dear AKPsi, Please tell your new pledge class to stop complaining about their pledge brothers. Its getting annoying. Sincerely, Everyone in their classes

• Those concerned about your absentee ballots: They aren't usually shipped until a few weeks before the election, so don't be worried yet. They're nowhere near behind schedule.

• I can't tell what you want from me. I'd ask if I wasn't afraid of changing our friendship.

• "You’re a really attractive resident at the hall I work at and I want to talk to you more, but I don’t know how to go about it. I wish you’d just take the time to stop and have a real conversation with me while I’m working." what hall is this?"

• OH MY GOD was that an eaglerant proposal? all other ranters are done. go home. michael wins. I'm off to ask myself what i'm doing with my life.

• bro out all week+sex all weekend = the formula for the perfect relationship. please don't take this away from me

• FAKE PROPOSAL MADE MY DAY. WELL RANTED GOOD SIR!

• I'm 21 years old and for some reason American University feels the need to tell me I can't buy candy. Why is there no candy at eagle's nest anymore?? I'm sorry some kid got fat and his mom called and now there is NO CANDY. News flash some people have self control. Bring back the candy.

• @SKINAMARINKY DINKY DINK SKINAMARINKY DOO I love you in the morning, and in the afternoon I love you in the evening, and underneath the moon!! you made my week man

• i want vodka vodka vodka vodka

• @ girl who comes in 20 minutes late to my 8:55 class LITERALLY every single class except for like two: STOP. What on earth is making you -exactly- twenty minutes late to class all the freaking time? Then you walk in the door and allll the way to the front of the room with everyone staring at you. Where is your sense of decency? Where is your pride? Where is your alarm clock?

• I'm also worrying 'cuz I haven't gotten my absentee ballot yet.

• Did that girl seriously go barefoot to TDR? Oh, honey, no.

• DID SOMEONE SERIOUSLY JUST PROPOSE VIA EAGLE RANTS WHAT THE HECK THIS IS A FIRST (Lindsey, turn Michael down. who proposes via eaglerants jfc)

• The Vodka Fairy? Is he like the Rock, but drunk?

• What's a Whipit?

• Hey E! Feel better girl! Being sick all the time is not an option. :)

• I noticed your attempts not to make eye contact with me, just as I was attempting to do the same. That didn't work out to well, did it? I can't help it, you're too damn cute. The boots helped as well.

• I JUST WANT THE LSAT TO BE OVER

• @pretty sure my sorority hates me. First of all, I would bet that they don't. Coming from someone who is in a sorority with the "party hard" reputation who doesn't, it's not a matter of keeping up it's a matter of being genuine. There's nothing wrong with going out and not drinking or not getting drunk. But honestly, if at the end of it all you are not happy, don't feel pressure to stay. Greek life is great, but it's not right for everyone. Do what makes you happy and don't worry about the rest.

• Really. You're going to open up photobooth in the middle of a lecture and take selfies? Swole face at you.

• I just want to be asked on a date. Is that weird?

• My boyfriend is going to break up with me if I rush...what to do what to do

• In what world is Anderson 6S super friendly? What world?!?!?

• I'm sorry Anderson 5N for going and breaking your toilet. I just don't like pooping on my floor.

• I've always really wanted to be in a sorority....but the dues are so expensive, and I know if I ever asked my parents to pay for it they would say no because they would think it is frivolous....what can I do? I've tried to have this feeling go away but it's been a few semesters and I would love to rush next semester.

• @“nobody cares about sexism and racism” except when it directly affects you and makes your day to day life painful and potentially dangerous. stay pressed white boy!! I'm not white chief. Stop being a dumbass

• @People who chew their gum like a cow on the silent floor bother me. It’s not *so* loud that I can legitimately complain about it, but it’s also really gross. Amen to that!!

• Today one of the most influential bands in my life announced that they are breaking up. RIP Underoath.

• I FEEL SO FAT ALL OF THE TIME

• I just really like my boobs okay

• seriously considering transferring/dropping out

• I know it's way to early for eagle rants to be up but I want them to be up I need a distraction from my life

• Why don't you love me?

• EAGLE RANT EDITOR I KNOW WHO YOU ARE....but I won't tell :)

• Why is it that every time I meet someone special, he seems to be into me for a few weeks then we randomly hook up and he starts ignoring me like the black plague? :(

• I'll dance to Kenny Loggin's "Footloose" nine times out of ten when it's played. [Editor’s Note: What’s your excuse for the other 1/10 times?]

• DID SHE SAY YES?

• Dazzling girl, dazzling love~

• waiting for eagle rants to come up makes me so anxious. I'm gonna puke! In a good way, I think.

• "Do you like women again? You slide around on the Kinsey Scale more than most people on a slip and slide."

• You won't receive any of the pity attention you're seeking from me...

• To the girl wearing nude suede high heels in the rain, I am from Los Angeles and I even know you're not supposed to do that. Sincerely, hopelesslyLA

• I really need to get stuff done... BUT IDONTWANNA

• France, So many low blows, but I guess that's what you're good at, isn't it? Go on and cozy up to the Germans shamelessly... I guess it's true what they say: some states don't appreciate sovereignty until it's gone. And bash England all you want, at least they honor alliances, unlike SOME countries. The one true statement that you have put forth is that Russia does indeed know amazing alcohol, but that would be where your mind went, you lush. - Italy P.S. Arms > Fingers

• I don't think you know exactly what you do to me...

• @Itll only be awkward....Go for it. It's only awkward if you make it awkward, and let's be honest here, it's probably awkward right now. What's the worst that happens, you laug it off?

• Editor you suck. Just have someone volunteer and do this daily. There are plenty of people willing. [Editor’s Note: That’s just, like, your opinion, man.]

• There should be an app to be able eagle rant from your phone

• Rolling with the punches, and I’ll come back swinging even harder. Watch the f*** out.

• give it to me baby like wonk wonk wonk

• hey dude who loooks like a sheep playing the tuba. keep up the good work. and be my huuusband

• Sometimes I worry I'm not Asian enough...grew up in a pretty much all white small town, can pass as white... it gets kindof weird.

• You're cute and I want to kiss your face. Let's make it happen sometime soon.

• Man I keep seeing this kid unicycle up to campus from the berks, don't know who you are but I love it.
