Eagle Rants: November 2, 2012

• !!!! FARTS CAN BE HEARD!!!!

• Why do guys always need to be the ones who are confident? #niceshyguy

• Workers of all countries, enjoy!!

• Right about now, I really just want to stop studying for midterms and cuddle and touch a booby is that too much to ask.

• Hot lava literally just shot out of my ass.

• @"I have $20 mil in trust fund money" I'll be your boyfriend...

• The McDowell Formal Lounge drama is better than any TV show

• @Liberals R Tools: Warren no questions asked

• My boyfriend reuses to say sorry for hurting my feelings if he didn't do it intentionally. Like when we made plans and then he accidentally fell asleep and we had to reschedule for the next day. Ya it wasn't a huge deal to reschedule, but the fact that he thinks he is too good to say sorry really makes me feel inferior and demoralized on a regular basis. Is this normal male behavior?

• I agree that semen is gross. Why can't guys jizz chocolate instead? Biological engineers, get on that.

• I have a friend who's having a rough time (possible depression?)... I love her a lot and I'm worried about her, but I also don't really know how to help. I just keep trying to make sure she knows I'm here for her. For all you sad ranters who wonder if anyone notices, I do. Try to keep your chin up, and I'll try to be here for you too.

• anyone doing nanowrimo?

• @"I'm pretty sure there isn't anyone else at this campus who plays Assassin's Creed." So false dude. I'm playing it right now.

• To the guy in the blue dress shirt in TDR about a week ago, you were with a group of all girls, and I caught some looks as I walked past the register. When I turned the corner to drop off my plate, we made pretty hot eye contact for a second, before you looked away. You're pretty studly. (I'm a guy). Say hi next time ;)

• It's not about "smiling". It's about the fact that strangers feel so entitled to telling me that the fact that I'm NOT smiling makes me look less beautiful or some crap and that in order for THEM to feel better about themselves/how I look, they need to tell me to smile. They don't know what's going on in my life. They don't know anything about me other than the fact that my appearance isn't pleasing to them.

• Hi. Me again. My latest Grindr experience: "F*ck off, I cheated on my bf bc I wanted to. I had different guys f*ck me every day in his bed while he was in class-including his only other gay friend and he doesn't even know it." [5 minutes later] "So let’s meet up. I know you wanna fool around with me no matter what I do. I'm hot enough to do that."………..Needless to say I ripped him a new one.

• So I ask again, where are the handsome, intelligent, POLITE AND RESPECTFUL gay guys here? –Gay Ranter

• In societies where modern conditions of production prevail, all of life presents itself as an immense accumulation of spectacles. Everything that was directly lived has moved away into a representation.

• To the person who stole my red phone and wallet from Katzen: I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money (because I'm poor and you stole all of it). But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. Please return everything to public safety tomorrow.

• Whoever invented E-suds deserves to be torn apart limp by limp while watching the Teletubbies on repeat

• @Trust fund: Girl, you are so going to get torn apart on tomorrow's rants for disclosing your trust total. Let me just apologize in advance for all the morons who are too self-deprecating to respect a family that has worked hard to make money and saved it for future generations. Love, another trust fund baby.

• @"i love how the green eagles at AU cut out and taped pieces of paper on everyone’s door. SO SUSTAINABLE. h" As a green eagle, we try not to! Paper does have a purpose, so sometimes we use it to get the word out in addition to Facebook and e-mail...if you want to know more about what we do, just come talk to us!

• @Hoagie Haven ranter: Are you actually from Princeton? Or from one of the surrounding towns that calls itself Princeton? Because that rant was only for the Princeton townies, not the Lawrenceville/Montgomery wannabes. If you are from Princeton however, kudos. I've been craving half a Phat Lady with Sanchez and hot sauce since I got here.

• I love hearing your voice.

• @ Liberals R. Tools... Did you take stats second semester last year?

• Some of these rants make me loose hope in humanity.

• @ "just because a girl has a short hair-cut does not mean she's a lesbian and just because a guy is ungodly skinny it doesn't mean he's gay." Super true, ranter! I'm a lesbian with long-ish hair. :) We're everywhere omg.

• I feel like every guy at AU is way out of my league, even the ones that I know aren't... but because the feeling is so strong I'm never able too work up the nerve to ask them on a date.

• @person who only wants a boyfriend (who I'm hoping is a girl): I don't have a $20m trust fund (in fact I don't have any money at all), but all I want is a girlfriend. We should meet up.

• Hey kid on the couch chairs in MGC by the info desk, I saw you on Imgur. I

• Oh no!!! I accidentally blocked this really cute country boy on grindr! :(((( he was so adorable!! I'm so sorry!!! I wish there was a way to undo it! :((;

• I intern at 10 am in silver spring, yet I'm still awake watching old Celine Dion videos on YouTube. #badlifechoices #gayerthanithought

• So I have this fantasy that some day, if I ever pluck up the courage, I'm just going to walk up to you when you're on your own in the lounge or in the elevator, and I'm going to kiss you--hard. And maybe, just maybe you'll actually see me for once and enjoy it, and you'll kiss me back. And we'll make out passionately for a few moments and that will be that and we'll go our separate ways. But at least I'll finally know if you feeling anything for me or not.

• I'm ranting about rants because it makes the AU community look so pathetic. He's gay? Go troll GW for a straight one then. You're annoyed with your neighbor? WE ALL ARE. You want somebody to cuddle with? Get a teddy bear. & to the 20 million dollar trust fund... go buy some happiness for all the people with nothing. Maybe in turn you will get some back? Come on, AU.

• @straight girl wanting a guy to kick it with: where are you haha? -StraightGuy

• @so many faceless hot girls I danced with: you can't remember because you were probably insanely drunk. Drunk dancing is not the way you want to meet a girl. Trust me.

• YES that's right we gingers are sexy haha thanks for the shoutout!

• @So maybe I'm a little desperate: if you like a guy, he might like you... just ask him directly if you really want to know. At best he'll be relieved you asked and he likes you. At worst he's not looking for what you want so it'll leave you free to look elsewhere.

• @I really want to ask you to this event: Talk to him/ her. Just do it!

• Are there any other Loyal Littles of Mr. Tony here?

• It's weird how all the girls say "man all guys here are either gay or taken" so what do I have to wear a sign that says -SINGLE STRAIGHT GUY-

• I bet that most of the people clamoring to "Save Kevin" don't know the names of more than 5 TDR employees or the names of the Aramark workers on their floor. They just like to be seen as socially active anytime something happens on campus.

• The more powerful the class, the more it claims not to exist.

• Be confident. Don't fall into the "nice guy" trap. Being nice doesn't entitle you to have a significant other. You need to be actually interesting. Remember that there are more differences b/n people of the same gender than there are differences between the genders.

• @Leonard Cohen Hallelujah: Honey, I know. Don't get smart with me. I prefer Rufus's cover. luv u bye ;)

• What ever happened to that LAL-wannabe site?

• Hey RA's, do not give noise violations for an entire lounge when like two people were making noise. "Guilt by Association" is NOT grounds for a noise violation!!!!

• I really think you're cute, I'm just too nervous to actually talk to you...

• BRING BACK TDR KEVIN!!!

• @I've been doing so great lately: what do you mean fall? Whoever you are, you are beautiful. Please don't feel like you have to be a certain way. Nothing is inevitable. Every moment you have the power to make a choice. Don't fall or let yourself settle for a second rate anything. Be with someone who truly loves you and puts you first.

• @You either like me or you don't: with that attitude I hope he senses up and doesn't fall for you. I don't know you but you come off as really mean spirited. Maybe he's nervous, did you ever think of that?

• @ Seriously why is it so hard to find someone?: as a fellow straight male, you're trying too hard. I'm single now, still miss my ex, but I'm content living life. When you become more content with yourself and feel more attractive and self-assured (especially your heart or inner self) you'll start attracting more girls!

• @Yo dat ginger on ATV is FINE: Thanks :) Which one of us? There are two of us ginger guys.

• @I'm so sad and nobody even realizes: a few I'm sure do. Closest friends can always tell, if they're worth anything. God absolutely loves you and wants you to have great joy in your life.

• @I'm scared to let go: of whom? Of what?

• @I've said I'm sorry like 20 times: IDK you, but if it relates to love then it's all about what you did, how often, and who you are and how you feel now. If you've wronged someone or cheated, it's easiest to forgive -a process which takes a different amount of time for everyone- when the offender truly means it. Beyond that time will tell. Maybe the person you hurt needs closure?

• @"Is it weird I don't like dating?": No! Most people in our age group don't even know real romance in college of a courtship style of dating. If you hate the hookup culture like me, and are looking to hopefully meet your soulmate, let's talk :-)

• @"I wouldn't have to cut myself if you loved me back": No one is ever worth hurting yourself over. No one. You are a beautiful person made by God in His image. No matter what you've endured or what you've done in your life, you are a unique soul and creation, a treasure in God's eyes even if you don't feel like it.

• @I'm so sad and nobody even realizes: a few I'm sure do. Closest friends can always tell, if they're worth anything. God absolutely loves you and wants you to have great joy in your life.

• @I've been doing so great lately: what do you mean fall? Whoever you are, you are beautiful. Please don't feel like you have to be a certain way. Nothing is inevitable. Every moment you have the power to make a choice. Don't fall or let yourself settle for a second rate anything. Be with someone who truly loves you and puts you first.

• How do people feel about modal jazz, specifically pertaining to that which was created by John Coltrane, Cannonball, and Bill Evans?

• People who talk about revolution and class struggle without referring explicitly to everyday life, without understanding what is subversive about love and what is positive in the refusal of constraints, such people have a corpse in their mouth.

• Pay me $20 million and I will set you up with a boyfriend.

• @Welp she cheated" Although I was cheated on my gf of 3 years broke up with me a week ago..feeling your pain man, just go crazy over the weekend and it will get better...plus watch Forgettting Sarah Marshall great break up movie

• Anderson 6 South
