What's Irony?

Ahhh the dreaded question that always comes up in English. The one that everyone knows, but no one can explain in words. Don't fret. I (and you eventually) can now easily express "irony."

Last Thursday mom summoned me to the doctor's office to get the H1N1 vaccine. Knowing that there was a shortage, I felt lucky and privileged to get the vaccine. It hurt like tetanus. The nurse then realized that she was able to scrounge (her actual words...kind of freaked me out) up the last of a regular flu vaccine. An hour and two vaccines later, I left the doctor's office feeling super immune to all of the sickness roaming around Salem.

Sunday I almost lost my voice, my head was throbbing, and I had a nice fever (yeah, it's Wednesday now...)

No one mentioned that the vaccines weren't effective for 14 days. FML

IRONY. You're all welcome.
