btw, have you ever thought about the difference between sarcastic and ironic?

Here is what I found:
; D$ y, M" \+ k7 X) m$ QIronic-------When you make an ironic remark, you say something that you do not mean, as a joke; if you say that it is ironic that something should happen, you mean that it is odd or amusing because it involves a contrast.
Sarcastic---------Someone who is sarcastic says or does the opposite of what they really mean in order to mock or insult someone.

Based on the above explanation,  being ironic is more polite than being sarcastic.

+ Q+ e) p& k$ R0 ]- j关于这两词的区别，我有一个更好的解释跟你分享、:
: j6 h) R. B+ A+ K* h! l+ t( RQuite often sarcasm is mistaken for irony; however, sarcasm is a form of irony which uses sharp wit to highlight the obviousness, stupidity, or annoyance-factor of a situation. One main difference between irony and sarcasm is that irony is generally observed and sarcasm is generally created (i.e. spoken, written).
- q5 K6 C- I. [5 O) H3 Z! qhttp://www.sarcasmsociety.com/howtorecognizeirony/
用中文言简意害得说就是：irony是存在的讽刺现象。sarcasm是人创造的讽刺意味。

共进共进！我最得天独厚的学习条件就是家庭妇女有闲工夫瞎看书，小时候就爱胡乱看书，结果高中把这瘾给借了，家庭妇女后才慢慢拣回来

我是小时候没有条件看书，没的可看，有点看的都是手抄本（你没看过吧？还是年轻啊！），后来升学，上班时间也不多，不过还是得机会就乱看。我最享受的时刻是买到一本喜欢的书，也许是小说也许是谁的传记什么的，自己一个人在家里，窝在舒服的沙发里，旁边在放上喜欢吃的零食，一边吃一边看，没有人打扰的一口气看完。
