There's a tree in my back yard. It's twisted. It goes up, then curves down in a U and goes back up. It's a beautiful tree and I love it because it's mine. I loved it even more because it's broken. I've had it for over a year and it's still growing taller and stronger. No one expected it to last that long. My other trees have withered.

If there's a metaphor there, it smacks too much of irony.

There is nothing amiss with irony, Miss Victor.

"I s'pose that's true. Irony is difficult sometimes, though."

Ugh. Irony's a pain in the ass.

"I mean...it'd be okay if'n I was a story in a book. But I'm me. An' irony's difficult."

[leavemea-lone.livejournal.com]

Yeah. No one wants to have shit happen to them that happens in books. It's all adventure til you lose an eye. Irony's only good for other people, yeah.
