• @"what do other ace people think about asking the au glbta group to add another a to their acronym? worth the effort?" I don't want to ask them to be GLBTAA. I just want them to acknowledge the A as both Asexual and Ally, instead of just Ally. I was really excited when I first saw that it had an A until I found out it wasn't ace. :(
• @"Yes. r u f or m? what are you into more specifically?" I'm cis female. ...But I'm getting really nervous/anxious, so I don't want to get into specifics right now. I didn't expect anyone to respond, save perhaps for some hate.
• Wow, props to the editor for getting the rants up so early, even when it's (practically) Thanksgiving break! You rock! :D
• History girl here. Thanks so much for all the nice replies. I’m talking to one of you on okcupid now, and I’ll continue things from there. Good luck to everyone else searching for love!
• @“Everyone on here is literally stupid. Peace out.” I love when unintelligent people don’t understand their irony. Hehe
• Seriously people, you'll most likely meet the right person when you're not even looking. Stop complaining, start living your own life/making yourself interesting, and you'll randomly just meet someone. Then your life will start to be awesome.
• A general note, when person A leaves a rant and person B responds to person A the next day, don't be a jerk and come in as person C pretending to be person A who is replying to person B who responded to person A's rant. It's rude. When someone starts their rant with "@" it means they are replying to the person whom they are addressing. Don't impersonate other ranters. It's against ranter etiquette (and against the ranting policy on impersonation).
• @ “To be perfectly honest, people aren't attracted to overweight people” : I’m pretty skinny, but I’m attracted to fat girls. Not everyone is turned off my unhealthy habits. If that were true, then smokers would never have significant others. Neither would people who binge drink. Etc. Everyone has their own preferences for what they want in a partner, and those preferences are diverse. Do please stop pretending you speak for everyone.
• @“For real, this isn’t eharmony or match.com up in here.” Oh tell us all wise one what it is? Because we ranters only live to serve you. Stop being a jealous hater. Eagle rants is whatever eagle ranters want it to be. It’s a reflection of the minds of the student body.
• @depressed ranter I gave advice to: Did you take my advice? I told you I would check in on you...
• @"History Girl:I’d love to hear more about your interests!" Three things you need to know about me. 1. I like skinning black squirrels for their warm hides. 2. I only read books that have explosions in them. 3. I only have sex between 4 P.M and 6 P.M. on Thursdays. Let's do this.
• @ "I hate my chinese/scottish roommate." Do you live in a skittles commercial?
• Roses are red Violets are blue I'm $hitting in a forest because I love you.
• @Violent Videogames Anti-violence, emotionally-sensitive guy here. I play video games are fun not because they simulate an action I want to have happen, but they provide an alternate, fictional way of approaching the world. It's fun to explore different realties, even if it involves shooting bad guys in the face.
• @ " @ “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.” The only person you should be ashamed of is yourself, you liberal tool. Get a freaking life and stop screwing up this country with your politically correct nonsense." ^ Wow, thanks for proving my point!
• @Message me again so I know if it’s you!: I sent a message, still have no idea if I'm the one you're looking for. I hope things work out for you!
• That awkward moment when I'm in bra and underwear in the morning, looking out into the LA quad because my window faces that way, and I make direct eye contact with somebody. This keeps happening...but I enjoy being in just my underwear too much.
• @ Haha thanks, but when women tell me their bra size it just tells me whether or not their Asian - Just of curiosity, can you please explain your theory behind bra size and Asians. Also why do you specify Asians and not another race?
• @5'11" of beauty and kindness: I'm just one of those judgmental voices in your head sweetheart, and I'm just trying to help you stay young and beautiful. Don't put dressing on the salad. Put down the sandwich. Stay strong but listen to the voices, we will guide you.
• I have good manners, I'm a nice and considerate girl all around, but my favorite thing about going home for the holidays is the ability to fart freely.
• @all white people look the same: I'm white and I agree.
• @transfer who can't figure out how people have such trouble finding boyfriends after locking down a hot athlete within 2 months: I'm hoping it wasn't your intention, but you sound like a giant dick.
• I constantly have to poop after coffee. It's such an issue. I'm a girl too. I thought we didn't poop?
• @documentaries: turtles can fly
• @" Sometimes when my roommate is sleeping, I just want to sit on her face and suffocate her with my ass. My dislike for her grows more and more each day." in some circles sitting on people's faces is the opposite of a sign of dislike
• @ Girls here at AU really need to stop vagina-blocking so hard. - I'm partial to "cliterference" myself
• i don't want to go to work i just want to marry rihanna and take naps
• @"correction: every SPA *leadership kid" TRUTH! They are the definition of obnoxious.
• How did I get so lucky that you found me when I least expected? :)
• @ I think this is for me I’ll really miss you too girl, I want to keep in touch!: I have a feeling you're not the person I was thinking of, but just in case I'll ask what class do we have together? If you don't want to answer, you can say anything that might make your identity known to me. Thanks!
• I now understand why you avoid me. I thought my "quirks" were charming, I'm sorry you took them as psychotic. Give me another chance, I'm actually quite mentally stable.
• Eagle, could you please do a story on what AU is doing in the realm of expanding online course offerings? I know there are a number of online classes for SIS and SPA and SOC students, but as a science major I would love to see AU join something like Coursera or team up with other local universities to share online offerings in order to expand the course catalog in certain areas.
• Editor, So what's the situation with Thanksgiving break rants? I don't want to be looking forward to them all day only to find them not there. Thanks. [Editor’s Note: They’re begrudgingly here]
• How can I make my boyfriend less aloof and more attentive to my feelings? -hurt and frustrated
• So I'm home for Thanksgiving. I texted 5 people. Brother, sister, cousin, and 2 friends. No one answered. I'm lonely and unloved. :(
• I need a drug habit that doesn't make me fat
• Why do you always ask me when I'll be finished with my project? It's really annoying. Are you just trying to make me feel less productive than you? I'll finish when I finish.
• I'm slipping away I'm slipping away and you don't even notice.
• Why can't you just love me with no strings attached? Why do I always have to jump through hoops for you? I'm always worried the end is near.
• @ever SPA*leadesrhip kid don't hate on leadership cause we are not same so don't judge on a few people. in one class alone there are 60 of us and we all have different personalities. From the student trying to be president to the kid just glad they are in a special program cause they are the first in their family to go to college and its glad to be apart of great community.
• just trying to dispel a rumor.... its it true that there was an orgy in hughes this year?
• They say that "whatever" means "F**K you!", but sometimes, you just gotta cut right to the chase and make it clear
• I just started listening to music I liked in 5th grade. I've missed it.
• SPA leadership is gay
• SPA kids are kind of like butt mud. Different textures, really all the same
• The worst part of being home is arguing with my mother about getting dressed up to go places.
• @Day planner: You missed the point regardless of where the event is posted it has a 98% chance of being a complete waste of time. So if you go to these "every day" then you need a new hobby preferably one that doesn't spend my tuition to have some tool talk for an hour.
• @[Sarcasm]: Thanks for putting your sarcasm in brackets for me, I wouldn't have been able to find it otherwise. Also I never complained that DC wasn't an amazing city, because it is. I think I should start a club where I push ignorant children off tall buildings, interested? [Not sarcasm]
• Can anyone here explain to me why Pharaoh Guy dresses the way he does? I have nothing against it, but I'm just curious.
• @Aren’t bags of lays a form of chips?: You're obviously an idiot for not realizing that I'm referencing the fact that bags of lays (the actual bags the chips come in) are filled less than half way to allow the air inside to protect the chips from being crushed. Effectively, I'm implying her bra size was probably falsely advertised. Idiot. Complete Idiot.
• It is so quiet on campus. Come visit Anderson 5s. Door signs of people who are still here are funny.
• The mob rule that certain AU groups (SWA, CAUS) are trying to implement are absolutely absurd and disrespectful. News flash about the secretary: SHE won't release her termination details; does that set off an alarm about the legitimacy of her claim? You cannot parade around this school yelling down every person who makes an administrative decision and expect the university to take the students at all seriously. Sit down and shut up
• Why was one of the quick take columnists a member of CAUS? Obviously we know what he thinks about the issue. I have yet to hear one non-CAUS member defend their midnight protest at Kerwin's. And really, the freshmen on this newspaper cannot write at all. The Eagle needs to stop stroking their own egos and start taking this newspaper seriously.
• Anyone feel like organizing a protest about how the CAUS is NOT representative of the student body? Seriously. Their protests make me ashamed to be a student at a place where people can be so callously self-entitled as they are.
• "Life is like a box of chocolates....it does't last as long for fat people."
