To make your reading easier, I've decided to color each vocab word used in context, as well as provide the definitions. However, the vocab words may appear in a different form, like adjective turned into a verb and such.
Vocab List
1. Epithet (n) - A term used to characterize a person or thing.
2.Ephemeral(adj) -Lasting only a short while.
3.Eponymous (adj) - Giving one's name to a tribe or place.
( This was the only word out of context, but you should be able to figure out what I mean.)
4.Epitaph (n) - An inscription on a gravestone of a dead person; Something used to celebrate a person's purpose,life, or memory.
5.Altruism (n) - Looking out for the well being of others, esp. focusing on the well being of another before yourself.
6.Paradigm (n) - A pattern, model.
7.Epitome (n) - A summary, a perfect example
8.Paragon (n) - A pattern or model of perfection or excellence.

And now for the best part!~
1-12-07
Dear QUITE RLY owl,
I wanted to present myself to you as an adoring fan.
Your cries of "QUITE RLY" heard throught the Gaian woods never cease to fascinate me. With your lead monocle, elegant tophat as dark as the moonlit skies,French-style moushtache, and your downy, snow-white feathers, you are a pure epithet of supreme coolness. Your legacy is definitely not ephemeral; your legend and purpose will live on forever in the hearts of millions. You are so great that I believe you should eponomize your name to a month of the year. You should take over the month of July, since everyone knows that Julius Caesar has nothing on you. Think of it, Independence Day could soon possibly not only celebrate America's independence from Britain, but can serve also as an epitaph of your altruistic purpose of letting the masses express their "YA RLY"- like sentiments fancily. I'm not quite sure that you know of the significance of your existence. Even if you are acting upon your natural instincts to yell out a "QUITE RLY" after an "O RLY" is said, you have set up, possibly unknowingly, a flawless, timeless paradigm for others to follow, if they take the time to realize how you have epitomized yourself. I think you may be queasy form all my fan-rambling, but I feel that I should drive home the fact that you are a paragon. Even if in the unprobable circumstance that no one will follow your ideology, I will always admire you.
Sincerely,
Sara [insert last name here]

Vocab quiz? What's the point of this thread? Sorry, I'm confused.
But I'd love to set up vocabulary lists for you all to memorize. [grins]

stressed
I wanted to show you what I wrote about. I mentioned that I wrote about it in another thread, but I didn't get it back until today.
And the vocab list is there in case you aren't a walking dictionary.
Jesus
Edit: Maybe my topic line was't clear enough. Fixed.
( It's not actually a vocab quiz, but a sample of my writing)

I'm contemplating showing this to the GD. ( Not by linking them here, but by copy and pasting.)

Me too.
But sometimes, it's /really/ rewarding to go there. GD is Gaia's link to 4-chan, after all.
Where do you think "QUITE RLY" and "Caturday" came from?
True, there's the chance that someone will anonomyously post furrie porn, but that's why I don't go on 4-chan.
