Eagle Rants: October 17, 2012

•Romney: 2. Obama: 0. And it is truly amazing what a bold-faced liar Obama is.

•Wawa is God's gift to the commoners in NJ, PA, DE and MD. If you've never been, make a pilgrimage ASAP and try everything it has to offer. Bless Wawa, D.C. needs one.

•"You’re clearly a freshman. That’s been done. Players did it last year." yes I am. Do you have problem with a student, regardless of year, taking an initiative to pursue something that they're passionate about?

•to the office hours-goer: does your prof happen to be a certain comm professor?

•A little late, but the checked sort was really working for you today (Tuesday)

•I take the long way around the hall to say hi to my ra in his room. Candy 2012

•WE LOVE YOU BACK DAV ALUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

•Okay, so, I don't know when your self-confidence turned into you being A MASSIVE DOUCHE, but it happened, and you annoy me, so get out of my face.

•@whore complaining about being labeled a slut: just so you know, US government factors in your promiscuity just as much as they do your credit score and foreign influences when applying for a Top Secret clearance. If you're known to sleep around, regardless of gender, good luck getting that clearance because you won't. BTW I did have a TS SCI. Remember, if you want a career in government, don't be a ho

•you suck editor!

•How should I get permission to use pictures? I was thinking that I would take pictures first and ask to use them after. Any thoughts? ~Humans of AU blogger.

•@"Hey remember that time" Where's that list of The Zodiac Killer's victims... Glad I could help ;D.

•@I would kill for a Wagamama’s on campus… <-------- YES OH MY GOD

•@"Took my coffee this morning in the Hurst men’s bathroom, the ones in the dungeon, it was pleasant." <---- what are you getting at with this one champ...

•beginning to think that it really wouldn't be that difficult to sneak a kitten into my dorm room to live with me.... I just miss cats a lot, ok.

•living in dc has made me more politically apathetic than ever before. i used to love engaging in politics. now i hate it. so much. it's basically sports. it's not about the issues that affect real people, but about being on the winning team. i'm sorry, AU Dems and Reps, but your pretentiousness and closed-mindedness has killed it for me.

•and Editor, don't let the haters get you down. You do this school a great service. we love and appreciate you.

•seriously, fighting democrats and republicans, you all make me sick. instead of mudslinging and making yourselves feel better (because you know you're a part of the superior team), why don't you start a constructive dialogue about solving some of the issues that our problem is facing. Topic 1: poverty. go.

•They is not, not ever was, a singular pronoun.

•Thanks for explaining the dirty coffee thing

•WTF is this humans of AU blog thing?

•Stop being gone. I miss you like crazy. #LDR problems

•• @">2012 AD Why are you greentexting and spouting memes on a website that isn’t 4chan? I bet you start your sentences with “implying” too." Can someone explain what this rant means in English?

•@You know your class is too boring: or you could just be too quick on the release

•@it's really awkward to approach you: I hate to be that person, but are you talking about a guy or a girl?

•@homeless man encounter: A homeless guy asked me to buy him dinner tonight. I said the usual "Sorry, I don't have any cash on me". Then he made a sad face and walked away. It made me cry. I should have told him the location of the nearest food bank/shelter, but I thought of it too late. I wonder if he knows? Obviously he doesn't have a smart phone to google it. Anyway, reading your rant was moving.

•Screw Wawa! What we really need is a Wegmans! Western New Yorkers, back me up here.

•I am NEVER in my room, god forbid I try to spend an afternoon/night in my room watching TV. Thanks for kicking me out, and you wonder why you have no friends and NO ONE likes you. Enjoy your life.

•I am terrified that I’m going to fall in love with you and you’ll break my heart.

•I think I love you but I don't want to say it and not have a response, I also don't want to scare you away. But every time I am with you, I can't help but to smile and my belly gets butterflies. I think this is love, I have never felt feelings this strong but I haven't known you too long and I am terrified of scaring you. I love you so much

•Negative, why always so negative? if you have problems, why don't you go solve them? beat me up, at least you won't be out of touch if you're such a poet, Loose your tongue and show it

•Mitt Romney's binder full of women sounds exactly like the same kind of concept that inspired Backroom Casting Couch.

•"Wawa is a convenience store in the Jersey area. I’ve been to one. They’re no Cumberland Farms, that’s for sure." YOU TAKE THAT BACK. THEY'RE SO MUCH BETTER

•How many Poles does it take to put in a light bulb?

•I'm really offended that Wawa was categorized at a "Philly thing". Hi, central Jersey here! There's a Wawa - I kid you not - every 2 miles in my town

•GIVE ME MY F**KING PACKAGE BERKS! It does not take three hours to sort packages, and if it does, you need to stop being lazy and move faster. Dammit.

•The Eagle is a disgrace. Publishing threats. no regards to the well being and safety of AU students.

•How is it possible that a threat be published on the eagle. it explicitly said "hate crime" no way around that.

•I know and accept that most of AU is liberal, but it really annoys and upsets me when everyone is so hateful to Romney and conservatives...I am sure that there are a few Republicans sitting with you watching the debate, but notice how they NEVER curse or get angry at Obama when he speaks. Just some food for thought.

•Some of us WORK, TAKE A FULL LOAD OF CLASSES , HAVE AN INTERNSHIP, VOLUNTEER, and HAVE LEADERSHIP POSITIONS ON CAMPUS....and get great grades!!! You do jack, can hardly handle 3 classes, and complain. Stop begging for cash and find a job. Get off your butt and finally fix your GPA and get that internship. Lazy crap.

•I will literally let any girl who makes me a home cooked meal use my body for whatever she wants for an hour. please no weird stuff. actually weird stuff is fine.

•so i might've missed something, but is "Mittens" a pet name for Mitt Romney? Or is there something else that i missed entirely?

•I cannot for the life of me understand how anyone can think Romney won the debate last night.

•To the guy who CONSTANTLY checks my friend out on the quad, please just say hi. I promise it will be well received. Sincerely, the caring best friend. White. People.

•@"Q: What’s the definition of disgusting?" I know I shouldn't even engage with your unenlightened, unsexed self but I don't even understand that oyster metaphor. so congratulations on being completely obscure as well as completely puritanical and misogynist. everyone should have as much sex as they want, as long as they're being safe and honest! just cause you're not getting any, doesn't mean everyone has to wear a chastity belt!

•YAYAYAYA DROP DOWN MENU!

•TODAY, SPEAK TO THE PERSON THAT YOU HAVE SOME TYPE OF ROMANTIC INTEREST IN, AND ASK THEM TO HANG OUT, AWAY FROM SCHOOL, AND CLASS, OR YOUR DORMITORY. I PROMISE YOU THAT WORSE THAT CAN HAPPEN IS A NO, THE BEST THAT CAN HAPPEN IS HAPPINESS.

•Some homeless woman sat next to me on the bus and smelled like disease and pestilence. She then actually proceeded to follow me all the way to the metro. I felt like I could actually taste the hepatitis as she coughed. That rule that the bus is for only American University students, faculty, and staff should really be enforced.

•Downton Abbey! NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

•Pasta Toss at TDR. Life=Made.

•We've haven't really met, but I want to change that. I just saw you tonight (Wednesday) for the first time. I got on the AU shuttle with my sister at the Tenley stop. I was standing by the guide dog who was at the front of the bus. When I looked around the bus, I saw you looking at me. You are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen! My sister and I got off at Nebraska, and so did you. I hope more than anything that I run into you on campus! If I never see you again, I just want you to know how incredibly lovely you are. –InfatuatedGuy

•to the ROTC guys in TDR every morning, stop tempting me!

•I haven't been to the library in over a year and a half... it's so different now! I'm impressed and will be back.

•the girl next to me at the phonathon smells. JK. heheh i hope you see this ;)

•A pox on politics and on the wretched body politick of this campus, consumed wholly by partisan pettiness and, above all, smug condescension towards everyone who dares disagree with them.

•@Buffy - dear up-to-season-6, please find me and i will give you the small island nation of tissues that you will need in your near future. also, do keep watching to season 7! i get skipping season 6 after you've already seen it, but season 7 gives us principal wood, who i personally think is on par with season 4 anya for funniest quirky minor character. also, in season 7, michelle tratchenwhatsit becomes realllllllllllllly inexplicably annoyingly hot (but still annoying. but hot.)

•I am in a slump... :\ - advice of what to do to get out of it?

•I really wasn't avoiding you. Ok maybe I was. I was afraid to face you. Hopefully I get a second chance and see you again some time soon.

•@ daddy shark doo doo doo doo doo doo grandma shark doo doo doo doo doo doo

•I absolutely hate feeling disrespected by my professors. I wish there was a way to report horrible professors before the end of the semester.

•rants please? will offer love in return.

•Honey, just because you put an argyle cardi on with that biddy skirt doesn't make it classy. P.S. I can actually see the bottom of your butt cheeks. Next.

•How do you pluralize the word caboose? Is it cabeese?

•It's 12:00. Do you know where your rants are?

•The trouble is not that I am single and likely to remain single, but that I am lonely and likely to stay lonely.

•Oh of course. The liberal hating rants go in, but if I want to crack a couple of racist jokes, they get thrown out the window.
