Eagle Rants: November 18, 2012

• @hwk- heres a clue-4 south of a dorm (don't want to say which one) on South side of campus.

• I want to ask a girl out who I know casually, but don't see every day. I feel like a text or Facebook would be trite, a call would be a little too random, and like I said, I don't actually run into her often. I have her number, but we aren't close enough that I could text her out of the blue without it being weird. I'm pretty sure she'd say yes, but I don't know how to break the ice. Any advice?

• @34-DD, ME ME ME ME!!!

• @So horny I think I'm going to explode....Any takers?: (slight head nod and slowly raises hand)

• @"I’m sorry for being awkward. You seem nice but I’m not much of a conversationalist." I think this every day

• DIS AIN'T NO OKCUPID. Cut the nonsense. Give yourself some loving and just chill.

• @bored:If learning new things is boring to you, then you probably shouldn't be in college.

• @ranter calling other ranter fatty: lol someone must be insecure about their weight I love going to all the AU events too, one of the reasons being because there is always healthy free food. So eating makes someone a fatty? Lol Ya my BMI is 19 hun. You should probably drop out of AU if you think everyone is so "boring". AU has the most diverse and fascinating student body you will find anywhere. I agree with the other ranter, the problem lies in your terrible attitude.

• @"then figure that out": I think you misinterpreted my rant. I'm not waiting for some guy to ask me out or not ask me out. I'm waiting for my bf to decide if he wants to stay with me or break up with me. There is nothing more I can do on the matter. He told me not to talk to him until he figures things out. So until then, I am stuck in a hellish purgatory. But thanks for the attempted help.

• @ "I swear my professor is sleeping with this student in my class. There’s some freaky vibe thing going on between them" Thank you, I'm not the only one who notices these things! I get the same vibe between a girl in my class and our professor. The outfits and staying after all the time just seem to scream something else is going on.

• I miss warm weather.

• @: "I’m so horny I think I’m going to explode. But I don’t like parties or bars, so it’s awkward to meet guys in classes or organized activities because I don’t want to seem unprofessional in an academic setting. But I’m looking for romance. I’m a history major. skinny. 34 DD. My hobbies include swimming, yoga, discussing politics, and sarcasm. I’m interested in a geeky, sweet guy who wants to go to historical sites on weekends with me. And have lots of sex. Any takers?" Got one right here!

• @bored fat girl: You seem to be getting confused by your own argument. Your original rant talked about classes laughable and ech semester getting easier. Now you are saying you were only referring to the people at AU being boring. I doubt classes are so easy for you if you can't even follow your own one paragraph argument.

• Squirrels freak me out like none other. Chipmunks are alright though.

• When did Chriatmas trees get so expensive? Dude, so not cool. I should be able to decorate on a college student budget.

• 6 hours is indeed too long to wait to a text response. 1 to 2 hours is polite response time.

• I got ham but I'm not a hamster.

• To any Eva geeks over here, a question and a statement: 1. If Third Impact were to occur very soon, who would you see before Human Instrumentality took hold? The fact that 3.0 is out and that 7 minutes of it has been released online makes me ridiculously happy. Thank goodness for subtitles too.

• @girl who thinks she is too good/smart for AU students: it's funny how you didn't pick up on the obvious sarcasm of the person who replied to your rant. You mentioned how you hadn't run out of things to buy online or porn to watch as if disagreeing with the reply rant, when in actuality the reply ranter was clearly saying those things in hyperbole to point out how you obviously don't use your time wisely as there are tons of guest speakers and interesting events going on at AU every single day. Try and keep up.

• Editor, we are going to have rants over break right? Please editor, please dot let us down! Pretty please!! :)

• My boyfriend never says "I love you" first. He only says it after I say it. Is this normal for guys?

• @ And have lots of sex. Any takers?: I'm down for the sex. I'm a skinny Kogod kid who's pretty nerdy but not that into history.

• @"I'm looking for romance": Gallery of Art or Portrait Gallery? Soon?

• Hey. The other night was fun, and you're cute and smart and have the best music taste. Ask me out. That is all.

• @"I don't want to be one of those people who angsts about girls on EagleRants"...if you're who I think you are and I'M who you're thinking of...you're cute and really awesome. More info por favor.

• I have this beautiful dream of people finding their soulmates on EagleRants I mean am I the only one

• I wonder what it feels like to be a sperm cell. I bet it feels like that point just before orgasm

• I'm having conspiracy theories about my conspiracy theories.

• @"Nice try fatty" Wow, fat shaming, much? Listen to Jo: "Is 'fat' really the worst thing a human being can be? Is 'fat' worse than 'vindictive', 'jealous', 'shallow', 'vain', 'boring' or 'cruel'? Not to me." --JK Rowling

• Btw, the JKR quote was from me, a girl with a BMI of 20.2. Fat-shaming attitudes in society lead people to eating disorders, and trigger people like me to think about starving again. It's really harmful to everyone, and totally unnecessary.

• @Person asking about sweet, innocent fetishes--There's literally a fetish/kink for EVERYTHING. There is, as you mentioned, actually a teddy bear/plushy fetish, for example. And if there is a kink, there is porn for it. You just have to google what you want.

• @radio critic: i think drivers are probably one of the biggest markets for radio. it gives you a bit of a human connection while you're on the road.

• @"I’m interested in a geeky, sweet guy who wants to go to historical sites on weekends with me." - You sound amazing to this history nerd, however your usage of "guy" immediately eliminates me from the candidate pool... too bad :(

• Yes roommate, I do clean the bathroom floor with your towels. That's what happens when you refuse to buy rugs and then leave puddles of water after showering.

• All I want is a super nerdy chubby asian guy. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK? -Lonelygirl20

• @ I’m so horny I think I’m going to explode: I'm in. Where do you possibly want to meet so we can make this happen?

• Checked my email and find out my professor's recommending the class check out the book I mentioned to the professor two classes ago. Lolwut

• It's deep how you can be so shallow. And I'm afraid because I have no fear.

• @History Major: There's one right here :)

• @possible fantastic orgy guy: ok dude, no rim jobs, that's cool. let's find you a smokin' hot girl to bang while I bang you. that sounds perfect.

• Re: "@D from a guy name M- You sound sexually frustrated! Let's meet up. ;)" Dude you have no idea how sexually frustrated I am. Sounds like you are also. Let's do it.

• Wow, I take a break from ranting for 2 days and the drama on here has exploded. Peace and love, people!

• I am so happy you're in my life. You're the most amazing girl I've ever met, I can't believe we just started hanging out! I can't wait to see where this is going to go :-)

• That awkward moment your ex's friends think your rants were about her and passive-aggressively rant to you about getting over her. So sad. If only they knew you've been dating other girls and are happy without her . .

• Being apart from you physically hurts.

• A hellish purgatory? C'mon, dude. If you watched Supernatural you'd know Hell and Purgatory are very different. Check it out.

• @oxytocin girl. Haha didn't expect anyone to be flattered by that but you're welcome! Guess you're just very maternal. And by "from a chemistry standpoint" I meant you're chemistry nerdiness is incredibly attractive ;)

• As an alumna, I check the Eagle once in a while to see what's going on, and I have to say, people like "Liberals R. Tools" really make me ashamed of this university. I've read such offensive and racist things be posted by that individual. What a troll.

• I hope I'm not the only one that felt that sexual tension...

• "I don’t really understand the point of college radio." This rant is awkward because WVAU only streams online.....

• @but simply make you smile: You should. There aren't enough people in the world who just simply care to show their stories and just talk, rather show a facade. Glad you exist. (; Initials?!

• You're more of a sorority girl than any of them that I know. And you're a dude. In a Frat.

• I love how you always flake for me, but never ever cancel for your sorority friends. Instead of taking advantage of my kindness, maybe you should take it as a cue that you're hanging out with the wrong crowd.

• You seriously have such an ugly heart/personality that I can't understand why anyone would be friends with you.

• YOU HAVE DEAD EYES. YOURE NOT PRETTY.

• @went to breakfast early to see straight good looking ROTC guys: Think any of them are gay? ;)

• My boyfriend humps me in his sleep.

• @Professor maybe sleeping with student: Argh, lucky them! I can admit I'm jealous...

• @" the guy who wants to whore himself out : I’m down - Sweet! Just leave the money on the table" - Hah, not that desperate. Sorry.

• @Looking for romance: Don't explode. I doubt you'll have any takers, you know, being perfect: smart beautiful and having huge boobs. Soo I call dibs, Econ major, 6'1 with a huge lower pelvic attachment. Interests include taekwondo, skiing, comedy, and Northern European contemporary history (dont ask). Nothing says first date like national historical site ;)

• I think I still am not ready to ask anyone out yet...It has only been a month since I got out of my 3 and a half year relationship/LDr

• Re: "I’m soooo tired of waiting for y’all (guys) to make the first move!" Then why don't YOU make the first move? Why should guys always be expected to make the first move? I stand for gender equality. To the girls and guys out there, BOTH OF YOU CAN MAKE THE FIRST MOVE.

• I bet you're thinking "I wish I'd known my big was awful before I put her on my list."

• We sipped coffee together today. I don’t even like coffee. But I like you. I watched as your beautiful red lipstick imprinted itself upon the pearly white edge of your cup. And I smiled.

• The individual bathroom in Centennial is broken! Where am I gunna poo?!

• not just girls want some of the rotc guys...

• Chicks cannot hold they smoke, that's what it is.

• My roommate is so messy that it is a health hazard.

• Hola amiga!

• AU should have a smoking club.

• I'm sorry that I'm not an extrovert, but you can't tell me not to close off. It's how I deal with stress naturally. I know it's bad, but it's how I work.

• I have had one of the worst weeks, and nobody knows. Awks.

• Being home is like being trapped in The Shinning hotel.

• Please don't treat me like I'm a child. I don't need someone to fight my battles, and I don't appreciate being thrown into the middle of things. I can take care of myself.
