Eagle Rants: November 26, 2012

• Thanks editor for posting the November 25th rants so early! You rock!

• @pregnancy scare: Ignore the troll, no one with a brain is paying any attention to him. Hang in there honey. Pregnancy scares happen to every woman who has ever had sex. Good luck. Sending good karma thoughts your way.

• @missed the involvement fair: Student activities has a list of the emails addresses for the student clubs so just ask them. The list is also on the student activities website, but it's kind of hidden a bit. Maybe just call the phone number anonymously and ask for the contact info for the club you are looking for.

• @pregnancy scare hater: Clearly you are not (nor ever will be) sexually active and have no clue how female biology works. My boyfriend and I were both virgins until senior year at AU. I've been taking birth control pills every day since age 18. Pregnancy scares have nothing to do with not "controlling yourself". Usually the menstrual cycle starts on the 3rd or 4th day of placebo pills in each birth control pack. But sometimes due to stress your period doesn't occur until 5th or 6th day after the placebos start. Thus the common pregnancy scare scenario.

• Why do I have back fat hanging out of my bra. Not cool

• @"Now whatever is inside of you has to suffer for your stupid choices": So apparently you never learned what the concept of a pregnancy scare means, since apparently googling the term was outside of your cognitive domain. A pregnancy scare is when a women is scared because she is unsure whether she could possibly be pregnant. This happens to every women who has a period when their period is late that month for whatever reason (stress, diet). And late periods happen to every women at least once a year or so.

• @complete idiot: I doubt there is any girl in the world who has been on birth control pills for at least a year who has not at one point forgotten to take the pill one day, thus triggering a pregnancy scare. Which upon further investigation one comes to find that missing a single pill will not change anything. But still, it is extremely scary to realize you missed a pill and then subsequently freak out. Hope everything worked out for you OP

• @ageplay: I guess I eased him into it because I often pretend to be different things (a fairy, a princess, a pony lol) so he was kind of used to me using different personas. He's pretty vanilla and is fine with just missionary, but he's usually open to trying what I suggest, at least once.

• @ageplay: Maybe start off with a modified version. Like instead of a little girl, be some type of young female fantasy creature (animated creatures are good because they don't really have set ages but they still have childlike personalities). Then if seems to like that, then next time progress to a more accurate version of the fantasies you have in mind.

• Anyone else think Kerwin looks like a homelier Paul McCartney?

• Pregnancy scare ranter here. Firstly, I'm not pregnant. I got my period, it was just later than it's ever been. Secondly, I say with absolutely no shame that if I were to get pregnant while in college, I would terminate the pregnancy. I'm not ready for a kid by any means.

• Editor, Eagle, everyone. Does anyone realize how completely UNACCEPTABLE it is to be posting rants telling people to kill themselves? I understand freedom of speech and whatnot, but when people are having issues that they can't tell anyone outside of Eagle Rants, it is incredibly dangerous to tell them horrible things like that.

• Rants should be censored for stupidity, ignorance and hate. It seems like some people on here aren't even in college. If you make comments like "you should off yourself", then you're not welcome here. I'm sorry (I'm not sorry), but you're uneducated (because you obviously haven't experienced any challenges like an unwanted pregnancy, depression etc. or have the ability to empathize with those who do) and inconsiderate and you're infecting eagle rants with your hate.

• imma sleep with alllll your roommates kiddo

• That awkward moment when everyone, including you, thinks we're such good friends when in reality I really can't stand to be around you anymore. You think you're so superior, that everything revolves around you, and that nothing is more important than what you have to say. Guess what? Just because you do what you do doesn't make you any better than anyone else. Get that through your head and maybe then we'll be back to normal.

• @control yourself responding to pregnancy rant -- trolling or not, that is disgusting.

• @looking for kink clubs: If you aren't already, get on fetlife. Also, check out DCTNG

• @ @ “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.” We're kindred spirits. I would gladly grant you the pleasure of inhaling my farts. And when you're not around for the fresh ones, I'll jar their essence and hide them all over campus for you. Little hidden treasures for you and the occasional Aramark worker.

• "There's only one guy out there for me and you are NOT HIM!" Name that movie (:

• I know my sorority is ranting about me. I don't like you guys either, but like I'm not leaving because I know you want me tooooooo

• @I don’t know if I can wait for you. You may not be single but I feel that if I hook up with someone else that may damage whatever chance we may have together. Exactly how I feel too.

• @ "What does a girl gotta do here at AU to find a guy?" I think your best bet is to just be open to new people and not assume that most of the guys are either gay or dicks. And it may be awkward, but it helps to be straightforward, at least from what I know on the other side of the spectrum. Also, you would think it would be easier to find someone considering the girl:guy ratio. -Straight guy from McDowell

• "Eva" is a short term for the anime series "Neon Genesis Evangelion." Its third movie (part of a reboot of the series) was released just last week in Japan! Problem is only seven minutes of it were released online for the general public.

• Let me rant about dry hands for a sec. Well, first they're dry and uncomfortable. THEN you put lotion on, and you can't even function! Doors are impossible to open, you can't open deodorant caps, and don't even think about sharpening that pencil by hand... OY. It needs to be May now, please.

• I'm so sick of this place. I don't have any desire to be here, I just want to be done. Instead, I'm stuck here for the next 4 years before I can do what I actually want. I have no motivation to do anything. It really just makes me want to do things that I know I shouldn't...

• Why do I have to install SafeConnect over and over?? ugghhh OIT What ARE you doing? [Editor's Note: This.]

• I hate when people who are incompetent decide that they are going to take over group work. If you suck let other people do the work.

• @"Pregnancy scare" - DO NOT listen to the a**hole being negative towards you. Every sexually active girl I know has had a pregnancy scare. There are resources at your disposal, and with help from AU's Counseling Center and pro-choice groups on campus, you can access them. I would personally be willing to drive you to wherever you need to go to get whatever done, if I could somehow meet you. Stay strong.

• A young man stands in his bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, is this young man's birthday. Though it was thirteen years ago he was given life, it is only today he will be given a name! What will the name of this young man be? -H

• THE DAV IS CURRENTLY PLAYING NSYNC, CRANK IT UP YA KNOWWW

• Wow, can we not publish rants encouraging people to kill themselves? That's pretty despicable of the person to rant it to begin with, but also super unacceptable to publish.

• Love when you're ready, not when you're lonely.
