Celebrity of the Day: Michelle Rodriguez

Hello.
So, I'm not sure if you know this, but today is Michelle Rodriguez's 42nd birthday.
Given that she's talented, and I actually knew her birthday, I decided to make a post about her.
Granted, I don't know as much as I do about Tricia Helfer, but I might as well give it a shot, right?
Michelle Rodriguez was born on July 12. 1978, in San Antonio, Texas.
She's known for her roles in Avatar, Fast and Furious, Girlfight, and LOST.
So, I was first introduced to her through Avatar [which I loved then, and still do, no matter what people say], where she plays the pilot, Trudy Chacon.

Most of you have probably heard of Avatar, and it's not a review, so I won't go into details, but, let's just say, I was impressed with her performance, and Trudy is probably my personal favorite Avatar character. So, yeah, if you've seen Avatar, give her some credit for the awesome job that she did.
If you've been reading my posts, you know that I've become a LOST fan, quite recently, which she also stars in.

Her character, Ana Lucia Cortez, is a former cop, and the leader of the 'tailies' aka the survivors of the tail section, and, again, she does a really good job.
It takes awhile to warm up to Ana Lucia [or Ana Lu-Lu, which is what Sawyer calls her], but then you realize, flaws aside, she really is a good person.
Of course, me being me, I loved her from the beginning.
Anyway, Ana Lucia is a very well-written character, and Michelle Rodriguez was the perfect actress to play her, in my opinion.
In addition to her impressive acting, Michelle Rodriguez does her own stunts. I have a high level of respect for actors who do their own stunts, and, some of her stunts would not be easy to do.
Also, an interesting detail I recently learned about her, is that she's interested in biology, and would spend hours talking to James Cameron [Avatar's director] about it, and she did lots of reading and self-education as an adult, to make up for poor schooling.
That's impressive, because if it were me, I'd probably be thinking 'yay, less school.'
Okay, now onto pictures, because she's also quite beautiful, and I may or may not have a bit of a crush on her [I still can't tell if it's her or her LOST character, but, eh, whatever].








So, who's your favorite Michelle Rodriguez charcter?

If I Was A Fictional Character [Tag]

Image
 Hello there! Random Buffy GIF just because.   Sam  did this tag on her blog, and I asked her if I could do it, and she said yes.  This looks like it will be a lot of fun. *rubs hands together gleefully* Share a snippet that includes a description of their appearance: She's flopped out on her bed, furiously typing up a blog post on her laptop. She's tall, and athletic looking with very long legs. She's dressed casually in ripped jeans [she didn't buy them ripped. They just happened to rip while she was wearing them, and they're her most comfortable pair, so she keeps wearing them], a mint green hoodie, and socks with llamas on them. Her hair is medium-length, wavy and light brown with blonde streaks/highlights. Basically my hair is like hers, only longer. Her favorite feature is her eyes. They're dark brown, and usually hidden behind glasses.  She has a small and wide nose, thin eyebrows, and a huge grin.  She's not sure if she's pretty or not, but she l...

In Which I Talk About My WIP

Image
 Greetings, friends! So, during my semi-hiatus, I did get to do a little more writing than usual, so I thought now would be a good time to talk about my WIP. So, here we are. I stole   borrowed this tag from Christine's blog. Technically, you're supposed to do it doing NaNo, but I'm doing it now.  What first sparked the idea for this novel? I'm not....totally sure. I know the idea first came to me in November 2020. It came from me wanting to write a book with magical powers, and I've always liked elemental magic, so that's sort of how it got started. Originally, I'd imagined it as a TV show, actually, and it was just a fun idea to play around with in my head, but then I ended up tweaking it a little, and it's now it's a whole novel. Share a blurb [or just an overall summary if you'd prefer]? I think I'll probably just give a summery, honestly, because that's easier. It's summertime. For most high schoolers. that means swimming, a nice...
