Bitches with switches

Don't you hate girl with multi-personalities? Well. I think everyone does. I don't mind them once in a while because... you know there pretty much nothing you can do. They have to learn for themselves how to treat people with respect. They cross over the line when they make my friends cry.

Irony here:

I don't usally get upset about this stuff. But you know just venting to the world.

Posts and Research....

I love doing post for my blog here but it's another thing to do it on a school blog... :/ We gotta do three post for the whole summer not much but hard to do if you run around town all the town. Like right now I'm supposed to be writing my research paper for 8th science fair while listening to Justin Beiber, on facebook, and blogger. Not a good mix.

Bit O' Irony:

I never liked Justin but my sister sings about him all the time now. So it gets stuck in my head all the time. Bieber Fever is contagious... Watch OUT!

School's OVER!!!! AHAHAHA :D

School ended officially yesterday! I went swimming to celebrate and went to the mall in a dress. My friend convinced me to go in a dress. It wasn't my idea, just putting that out there. It was only for an hour but I got mostly the people that I want in my class. There are three homeroom teachers for my eighth grade class. We also get a new building. YAY! I also get to help one of my seventh grade teachers help move. She said she pay for lunch too. Yum!

(Just Found this Today XD)

What Irony means!

Irony (from the Ancient Greek εἰρωνεία eirōneía, meaning dissimulation or feigned ignorance)[1] is a rhetorical device, literary technique, or situation in which there is a sharp incongruity or discordance that goes beyond the simple and evident intention of words or actions. Ironic statements (verbal irony) usually convey a meaning exactly opposite from their literal meaning. A situation is often said to be ironic (situational irony) if the actions taken have an effect exactly opposite from what was intended. The discordance of verbal irony is created as a means of communication (as in art or rhetoric). Descriptions or depictions of situational ironies, whether in fiction or in non-fiction, serve a communicative function of sharpening or highlighting certain discordant features of reality.
Other types of irony:
Comic irony: Irony that is humorous (whereas much irony is not)
Dramatic irony: When the audience (or reader) knows a fictional character is making a mistake, because the reader has more information than the character.
Tragic irony: A type of dramatic irony, in which the character's lack of knowledge leads to tragic consequences.
Historical irony: A kind of situational irony that takes a long period of years for the irony to become evident.
Socratic irony: When a person asks questions, pretending not to understand, to lure the interlocutor into a logical trap. (Socrates, in Plato's dialogues, was a master of this technique.)
