More 'Bout Adrienne

Updated: 9/19/04

Funny how time just flies by. Zip, and it's gone. Zip, and a year's passed and you don't know where it all went.

I'm Adrienne Wolter. Probably your average teenager, although sometimes one has to wonder if anyone but a Sim is average (and then, even they are crazy sometimes). Really now, there are billions of people on this earth living billions of varied lives, and billions of people you will never meet. Billions of people who you can never possibly come into contact with, billions of people who all lead separate existances.

I suppose all teenagers think that they're All That. We're just awesome that way. A lot of us are dramatic, some of us are pessimistic, and most of us crave "normality". But really, there's not much in the way of normality, you know? Life is a soap opera for a lot of people, especially teenagers.

Enough of the generalizations though, and more about myself, because I'm so special.

I created this website at twelve, having gotten it for my 12th birthday. It started as a random pilations of pages with mis-matched images and Comic Sans font and has evolved quite a bit since then, if I say so myself. When I got the domain name adriennewolter.com (which was how this site began - there was no little website to precede it), I was a shy twelve-year-old, just finishing the end of 6th grade, quite possibly the worst year of my pre-teenage life. I had no social life to speak of, I doubted everything around me, I was pessimistic. My html skills were eh at best. I dreamed of somehow fitting into the vast array of groups around me without actually ever wanting to fit in at all.

I've evolved quite a bit since then, if I say so myself.

I'm fourteen. I've just begun the exciting new venture into high school, and love it. I'm still a little shy sometimes, but I can open up and I can talk to people so much more than I used to. I have wonderful friends, I've become more confident and with it, more ambitious. I proclaim my Slytherin place with pride. I dream not of fitting in with the groups I used to want to be a part of - too dramatic, really - but of publishing a book, being valedictorian, improving in my sport-of-choice karate, starting a website design business, meeting new people, and keeping the insanely awesome friends I have now. :D

Appearance

I've been described as striking. I don't know, I wouldn't particularly go that far. Some days I love how I look, some days I love my concealer. My skin is very pale, as I didn't exactly go outside all that much this summer. Ah well, I like it that way anyway. My hair is dark and wavy, a lovely dark chocolate hue. My eyes are a little lighter, more hazel but still brown. I really do like the color; for this reason I wear clear contacts rather than colored. Yes, contacts - I have pretty bad vision. Things are really fuzzy when they're more than seven or so feet away from me, and I can't read a digital clock that is across the room unless I lean halfway out of my seat/bed and squint.

I don't really know how to describe my clothing sense. I can't really classify myself by those "goth/prep/sk8ter/emo/punk/whatever" stereotypes because I think they are one heck of a waste of time. The best I can do is say that I love bright, unpredictably-patterned things and khakis. I'm not too much of a trendsetter per say, but I do often do my own thing. My favorite outfit is black cargos, a flowy, uneven-hemmed, pink, white, and black skirt, and a pink and black top; my favorite accessory is a black and white homemade button-bracelet. Someday I'll take some pictures of my favorite outfits, but for now, that's the best I can give.

I don't have much in the way of shoes; four or five pairs tops. I almost always wear my sneakers these days, not because I particularly want to, but because my school involves very long, quick walks, not business for the well-loved wedge-heels I wore most of the end of 8th grade. I don't care for flip flops, I prefer something that makes me taller. I'm about five and a half feet tall, a little shorter, but I adore those wedge-heels, mon.

Hobbies/Interests

Writing. I write fiction, journal, fan fiction, and poetry. Go check it out in the writings section. I love 9th grade English class, as my teacher is awesome, and I'm going to try to be a part of a writing group and a writing club at school.

Drawing. A side hobby, not anything I'm particularly good at. I do make animated blinkies, as well as dolls.

Singing. I love music, and much of the time I listen to it, I sing along. I've gotten loads of sore throats because of singing too much, in fact. Man... that's not particularly a good thing.... Anyway, I'm a part of my high school's choir, soprano.

Web design. Still learning, but I know enough to try to start a business.

The cello. Yes, I play it for the high school orchestra, and, er, I need to practice more. I'm not bad... but I certainly need to work on our orchestral pieces for the winter concert in December and the POPS concert in February.

Music. I swear, my favorite song changes every day. Right now I'm back into (for the hundredth time, I might add) Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morisette. That album... Mary Jane, Ironic, Perfect, Hand In My Pocket, You Learn, Head Over Feet, Forgiven. I love it. I grew up with it, too, one more year and it will be ten years that I've been listening to the thing. *Hugs songs*

Karate. At the time of writing, I will be testing for my orange belt in a month. I'm a yellow belt. On September 18th, 2004, I won a first place trophy in my division for forms at a tournament. Yay! I really do love karate, though, I can see myself still taking it in four years or more. I certainly want to try and continue it during college.

Harry Potter. Yes, I am not only a slash addict (you'd know what I mean if you read fan fiction), but I adore Snape, and my favorite slash pairing is HPSS. Yummy. I'm a self-proclaimed Slytherin, but, as no one really has all of the traits of any one house, I have good and bad traits of other houses as well. But still, Snape is totally awesome. *Grins* Since November 10th, 2001, I'd been running Adrienne's Hogwarts, an interactive Hogwarts site. It will be closed for a few months, though, until I get a more automated version (affectionately named AHR, Adrienne's Hogwarts Revived) going. Shouldn't take that long though. :)

If I wrote an autobiography, which I might end up doing just for writing practice, I already know some of the chapters. Perhaps, if it was just up to 16 or 17, I could divide it into "Before Hogwarts", "Hogwarts Era", and "Life After Hogwarts". Seriously, AH was my thing. I made so many friends through it, and grew up while running it - the girl who started as a rather shy and naive 11-year-old had to become the present 14-year-old somehow.
