how Ironical

Wanna know what's Ironic?

When you rip someone (your english teacher) off constantly (not to their face of course) about using a non existant and clearly grammatically incorrect term (Ironical) laughing at the Irony of someone specialising in english messing up english. Then you realise that the word actually exists, so in fact you are the
one(/s) that are being grammatically incorrect.

Ironical

Wanna know what's irritating? of course you do. When news headlines are totally misleading. There was this headline on my homepage when I opened it just before and it was all "Pell open to abuse apology from Pope" and I was all omg wicked awesome, because in my head some awesome thing happened in which the pope abused pell (head bishop guy of Sydney) and now its all, bitch please. Like Pell was like, yo pope-ikins, that hat is damn fugly! fizzle. and the Pope's all :O how dare you! *punches him down* take that! pope hats FTW! and then Pell is like, hey media, I demand an apology! Like logically, it wasn't going to be that dramatic, but I imagined a kind of watered down version of some kind of controversy like that.

So anyway, I read it and it was just Pell saying that "the door was open" for the pope to apologise to people that had been sexually abused by members of the clergy.
Which is really kinda boring in comparison. And not at all breaking news, because we all know about the people that got abused by clergy people. It kinda seems a cop out anyway, like I'm sure it's the right thing for the pope to do, but part of me just thinks its all a bit diplomatic. I really doubt that the pope cares all that much to be honest, he's not going to be apologising out of the caringness of his heart, he's just going to be apologising because he should, and it's his position. And I doubt that's going to mean anything to the people that were messed with by priests. And you could kind of follow why it would be an empty apology, it's not like the pope actually did anything, some priests being complete sick fucks is really messed up, but I don't think it had anything to do with some old german guy. That's just my opinion, and i guess theres no harm in him apologising so whatever.

I'm at school at the moment, because my religion exam just ended and I have time to kill before my economics teacher gets here to talk to me about economics. which should be joyful. I don't know why I chose to do an online subject but it definately involved a grave over-estimation of my own organisational skills. Mr Core has been going on about coming down here to meet up with all us "Hunter students" for like, ever. And he wanted to do it on any of a variety of dates which all fell in my schools exam period. Which to be honest, didn't bother me at all, because economics is boring. very boring. So I was like, damn, I can't come if it is those dates, I have exams. And he kept mentioning it and I kept replying the same as above, because I can't very well go to newcastle for an economics meeting on a day when I should be sitting one of my trials, as they are kinda going towards my Uni mark. This would have been a very nice coincidence, in which I have to spend no time going over the economics work, which being my worst subject is probably not going to be counted anyway. But no, he emailed my librarian and they worked out for him to come here after my exam. Which major sucks. Well it's nice, and probably helpful, but I reserve the right to whine about being stuck at school.

Also, what is with a 20mark question on Christian Marriage? Who can talk about Christian Marriage for that long? Not me. The two 6 mark questions on Jewish Ethics and Moses Maimonides totalled a lot longer of a response then the huge one on Christian Marriage.

The problem with getting up going straight to an exam, writing in silence for, like ever, and then coming straight to write a blog is that it leaves little to write about. One is limited when undertaking an exam, in their ability to encounter a toss of the day, make witty observation or become particularly outraged at anything or anyone in particular. Furthermore, One is not even left the opportunity to do something of notable stupidity, beyond stupid exam mistakes, which are boring. It's a conspiracy my fellow blogging friends, this rising movement of exams has a sadistic hidden purpose, set on destroying blogs forever!! We will make a stand!!

err, economics guy is here, have to make that stand later xLivi

  3. The teacher at Jacks school said it and so I ripped Jack off for having a stupid school, and then Daley said it in class once, so it kinda became a thing since then. He spells Karma Kalma aswell.
