Vital Vocab 11

Hello all.

Should I switch back to Eliza soon?  A day in the life of Isaac is not all that inspiring yet.

Honestly, Eliza is sort of daunting to me.  I feel like, since I have a better hold on Isaac's character, his posts are better.  But I'll have to deal with that girl at some point, no?

Prompt: --
Vocab: epitome (n), eloquent (adj), emulate (v), eclectic (adj), etymology (n)
Grammar Focus: loose/lose; use a dash to connect two independent adjectives

Eliza Ben
Isaac Bade- [is more fun and less thought, and let's face it, I am on a deadline here.]
     After breakfast, I paid my aunt a kiss on the cheek ((A/N: is that a thing people do?  people do that...right?)), grabbed my backpack (with notebook), took one glance at my aunt's car, then grabbed my bike.
     I was not exactly the epitome of a good driver.
     Clearly it had rained the night before, as the rainwater tried to emulate a small river in the gutter, bringing with it an eclectic mass of sticks, leaves, and mud.  I biked slowly, watching it flow, looking for cars out of the corner of my eye.  Eventually I reached the edge of the neighborhood, and from there I biked aimlessly until I reached the town library.  I locked my bike loosely on the rack outside (wouldn't want to lose it), and in moments I was wandering through the shelves, just scanning titles.
     Pretty soon, I found myself in the kid's section, looking at one book in particular that was colorfully alliterative.  The elephant eloquently explains etymology to the emu.  The illustration featured a ton of other stuff starting with E; Easter eggs, eagles, a man we could assume was an earl (who happened to have exceptionally large ears and eyes), earthworms, et cetera.  After a minute I put the book back, finding myself wishing I could be a little kid again.
     I went and settled into a cushy chair in the young-adult section and started to doodle in my notebook, fully intending to waste the day away.
