Did you manage to think up something to write for your paper then?
Hmm, ironic moments in my life. Can't think of any right now, but i can think of an annoying incident. Recently i had told my dad that i normally wake up in time for my uni classes, but then the next morning, i slept past my alarm and was late in getting out of bed! It was like i had jinxed myself the night before!
Here's something ironic. People posting on and about the topic of irony, but not giving any true examples of irony.
My teacher gave us a lecture about how many people use the term "irony" or "ironic" to express events that are just coincidence or improbable. It gets tricky, but if you use sarcasm, that's a common form of verbal irony.
Irony: The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning. An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning. A literary style employing such contrasts for humorous or rhetorical effect. Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs: “Hyde noted the irony of Ireland's copying the nation she most hated” (Richard Kain). An occurrence, result, or circumstance notable for such incongruity.

That's not irony, that's just me being an idiot, saying that phoenixes are extinct. xD
