So following an ex’s advice, I’m writing “el manuel” to thenny.   Thanks for tuning in and please ping me @ janyanxu(a)gmail or just leave a comment to contribute.</description><title>Instruction Manual to Thenny v. 2.7.7</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @elmanual)</generator><link>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>Yes!</title><description>&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/HdU0oEzGgeb7vks43d43R3rko1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Yes!</description><link>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/51741716</link><guid>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/51741716</guid><pubDate>Thu, 25 Sep 2008 10:41:50 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Trying to learn portenio</title><description>&lt;p&gt;portenio- people from buenos aires or “people from the port”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Don’t show total interest in me while we’re on the date and then leave the follow up to me.  That just makes me think that all you wanted was sex.  And I want to believe that’s not true b/c you’re actually intelligent and just spent 5 hours discussing international politics with me.  So what the fuck?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obviously, I’m venting about on particular little juevito right now, but really, this pertains to all men.  It make take me some time to get used to the truth, but I’d much rather had that than a mouthfull of sugary lies.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/32438189</link><guid>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/32438189</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Apr 2008 11:11:49 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>"Because saying ‘my boobs are perfect’ is very different from saying ‘my boob is..."</title><description>“Because saying ‘my boobs are perfect’ is very different from saying ‘my boob is perfect’!”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Person who likes to quote herself, a.k.a. me, a.k.a. the shit, a.k.a. &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://thillythenny.wordpress.com/2008/04/11/because-saying-my-boobs-are-perfect-is-very-different-from-saying-my-boob-is-perfect/"&gt;OMG, I’m so glad I’m alive right now&lt;/a&gt;, a.k.a. sorry if you subscribe to &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://tumblinas.com/"&gt;tumblinas&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://thillythenny.tumblr.com"&gt;thillythenny&lt;/a&gt; and have read this damned entry 8000 times already, ;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/31517036</link><guid>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/31517036</guid><pubDate>Fri, 11 Apr 2008 18:02:28 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>me + too much alcohol on a Monday = bad</title><description>in other news, it feels so nice to fall asleep in someone’s arms. </description><link>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/31162660</link><guid>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/31162660</guid><pubDate>Tue, 08 Apr 2008 11:13:03 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>I like my daily dose of cuteness… if you’re around...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/HdU0oEzGg7j6b438MqrLmeAd_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I like my daily dose of cuteness… if you’re around me, please expect an abundance of dorkiness, squissieness, me calling you random nicknames and interminglings of sarcasm.</description><link>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/31079217</link><guid>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/31079217</guid><pubDate>Mon, 07 Apr 2008 15:42:09 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Whining</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Although I whine in general, I only really make the whining noises when 1) I feel comfortable enough around you to do it, 2) I probably think of you as spoiling me or want you to spoil me— not overwhelmingly, just a little, and 3) I want something.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Usually that something is sex.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;…but I’m a girl, so that doesn’t equal always.  If we’re in the same room, and I have a devilish look on my face, then feel free to jump me before I jump you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“I noticed that we ordered popcorn this month, which is great, except I absolutely hate (with a passion) the smell of popcorn.  I realize that may make me a leper and the biggest anomaly since Carrot Top, but could you do me the favor of not opening the bag of micro waved deliciousness until you are far far away from the kitchen/my desk?  I will be eternally grateful.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I also only eat green Sour Patch Kids, but that’s more of a preference and not a makes me want to vomit all over the person who’s microwaving popcorn. :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/30499826</link><guid>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/30499826</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Apr 2008 14:40:18 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>"Uh-oh, sounds like we have a popcorn diva in our midst!?"</title><description>“Uh-oh, sounds like we have a popcorn diva in our midst!?”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;managing director on my hate for popcorn&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/30499386</link><guid>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/30499386</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Apr 2008 14:32:39 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>I’m a sucker (total!) for men in uniforms.  They...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/HdU0oEzGg7ab23iggtN7RNpN_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I’m a sucker (total!) for men in uniforms.  They don’t even have to be that hot.  I know it’s a huge stereotype, but I always get so disappointed during fleet week.  I understand that not all navy guys are supposed to be single, hot and itching for some lovin’ (did I just say that?), but at least one!?  Okay okay, so I don’t go to the parties at night.  Mostly, I’m not interested in waking up in Sacramento with someone else’s underwear, but I would like a cute sailor boy.  Even if it’s just for one night.  teeeheeehee…  Is that bad?</description><link>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/30481198</link><guid>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/30481198</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Apr 2008 10:45:11 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>We isn’t!  But thanks for topherchris themednessses</title><description>&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/HdU0oEzGg797pxdrNJu239ji_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We isn’t!  But thanks for topherchris themednessses</description><link>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/30403471</link><guid>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/30403471</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 16:23:58 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>I love love looooovvveeee cute cartoons.  Although I usually...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://media.tumblr.com/HdU0oEzGg79614zmivHg9Gdk_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I love love looooovvveeee cute cartoons.  Although I usually don’t admit liking girly things like babies and cutesy toys, etc., I just have a taste for it….

&lt;p&gt;This is my signature “blowfish” face.  I make it to look cute.  Also, I can do it while sticking my tongue out at the same time, which is a feat that usually wows people (clearly, my friends are easily impressed).  This is one of a collection of faces and impressions including but not limited to “gorilla,” “squirrel,” “fith” and “puppy.”&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/30391260</link><guid>http://elmanual.tumblr.com/post/30391260</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 13:10:57 -0700</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
