in lit class last week we listened to "Ironic" by alanis morissette and dissected it to see if the things she talked about were actually ironic. ironically enough, the only part of it that was real irony was when the guy said "isnt this nice" while crashing.
what irony have you seen lately? entertain me. maybe ill even think it over enough and decide if its actually ironic, but who know, that might require actual thought and im not sure im up to that right now... |

My parents moved out of state to Washington last summer...and they let me stay in cali to finish out high school...so I decided to apply to colleges in Washington where my parents lived...
IRONIC: While most people move out of their parents home to go to college...I moved in w/ my parents instead!... there's an example of irony! |

People who call life ironic, but have no idea what the word ironic means, is actually quite ironic.

We had a discussion about this when I was in High School.
The song is ironic in itself because it isn't ironic at all... |

the most recent irony i've experienced has been the affects of bad decision making, yet.. because of that reason, i'm at a very very happy state right now.
by the way, very creative and great topic. |
