Divorce-E Irony kills me it really does, like having shitloads of the right things and then finding out it was all wrong and there's more to come. Ties in somewhere with smug poetic justice, fucking hell fate deals a rotten hand... 991214

meli Ironic is funny with a bitter aftertaste. A little ironic is fun, but a lot of ironic can get your ass kicked.

Moronic is that song by alanis.

bellee when your father tells you what to do, but has no path to follow hiimself...when you are a straight 'a' student, and they still expect more from you...when you have everything to live for, and don't...or are all those just unfortunate? 000121

marjorie it was just getting far too serious
first you have the deaths
then the crying
and more dying
and everyone feels like they're spinning out of control
until...
my ironic twist comes in
and throw you all off guard
and you end up laughing
on the floor
and wonder why you ever even cried before

splinken nothing irritates me more than when people misuse this word.

who is to blame? alanis morrisette. i'm fucking serious. there was that song--and that WORD in that song. er, THIS word in that song, i guess i should say.

our dummy-head generation learned the word, but not the meaning.

Brad Yeah. Not once in that song did she use that word correctly. I think we've discussed this before, Molly, you and I. 001011

yummychuckle that Dillon thinks sex should mean something emotionally, and wants to wait til he finds the right person, but right now he wants to die so bad, and doesn't care to wait for anything. so in a way, he'd rather die than have sex right now. 010601

endless desire Ironic
(alanis_morissette)

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic... and yeah I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

endles desire ((the american heritage dictionary))

ironic--characterized by or constituting irony.

irony--incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs.

i don't think she was completely off. either way, i still like the song. it seems that people spend far too much time criticizing things, rather than spending far too much time enjoying them.

endless desire "maybe the real irony in that alanis morisette song is that ironically nothing in the song is actually ironic."

angela definitions, labels, categories, perceptions... why not accept things for the essence... for what they are and what you've learned from it... as everything is continually changing, there is no need to define or describe, just feel 040409
