About

I’m quite the character to say at least.

– me about myself

The fact that you have ended up here means that you are curious about me – well, there’s no need to look further because here’s everything you need to know about Mettel Ray (which is my writing alias).

• I’m 27 of age and still trying to figure out who I want to be when I grow up.
• Place of origin: Estonia.
• It should be obvious but just to clarify, I’m a movie addict and a TV-show fanatic. Meaning, my life pretty much evolves around fictional characters day in, day out.
• I have difficulty to love just one or two things at once, I tend to like many things at the same time.
• Except when it comes to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, him I love to pieces.
• Mettel Ray (Movie Blog) started in May, 2010.
• Since then it has had its ups and downs but is still growing strong which makes me a proud mama.
• I’m also a proud member of LAMB, (#1168).
• Internet is my social life.
• So much so, that I have developed a secret spy like system in order to remember ALL my account passwords all over the Internet.
• I like bananas.
• Being an only child probably has not helped me but it has had its benefits.
• 80% of the time, I go to the cinema alone – even if it is Valentine’s day and I’m going to see Valentine’s Day.
• Clearly I hated myself that day because I hate Valentine’s day AND I hate romantic comedies.
• I love the color black.
• When people ask me what is my favorite movie I refer them to my Top 50 Favorite Movies (1 & 2): to this day that is the best post  I’ve done since starting this movie blog.
• It’s Snatch. by the way, my favorite movie.
• Coffee runs in my veins.
• I know a lot of people, I call only a few of them my friends.
• Love of writing and not being able to write fiction for some odd reason led me to create this blog.
• Still haven’t been able to write fiction which is kind of a bummer because it is kind of my dream…
• I feel at my best while driving behind the wheel because it’s one of the few places where I feel in total control over my life.
• Not going to lie, I have developed a slight addiction to make up, especially lipsticks.
• I have had six jobs.
• I’m currently finishing my Master’s degree.
• Despite my make up addiction, I don’t consider myself as girly.
• I like drinking beer from a bottle/can, I prefer sports to any romantic comedy and if I had the means I’d probably play video games all day long.
• People have said my English is very good and my accent is quite American.
• I’m crediting it to all those American movies I watched as a kid.
• I currently own over a 100 original DVDs and I’m slightly addicted to buying books as well.
• Since so much of my money is spent on DVDs and books, 75% of my wardrobe is bought from thrift shops.
• And yes, Macklemore’s Thrift Shop is my anthem. In other words, I’d rather spend money in thrift stores than shops with over priced clothing items.
• There’s no exact word for my music preference but it is definitely not pop music.
• It makes sense because my movie taste varies a lot as well.
• Used to hate the color pink. Still do but in less capacity.
• I have difficulty remembering song lyrics and yet, I can visually remember at least one scene of every movie I’ve seen.
• Based on my Letterboxd account and a very long evening of adding films, I am certain I have seen close to a 1000 movies.
• My cat is named after Phoebe from Friends.
• In a way, I consider Friends as my favorite TV-show of all time.
• When I was little, I was extremely scared of The Mask and my parents took advantage of that situation… a lot.
• First word I learned in Russian was мороженое – it means ice cream.
• No, Russian is not the same as Estonian!
• I am not afraid of heights (only when it’s windy and I’m climbing a tree or something), snakes, water, bugs, public places – so pretty much nothing scares me.
• Yes, I’m not even afraid of spiders nor mice! Bring it on, nature!
• My favorite moment is when it’s snowing and everything around me is quiet and peaceful.
• Summer is not my favorite season, it’s actually winter.
• My astrology sign is Aquarius.
• I could consider swimming as my favorite activity but since I have tried surfing, it is now a very close second.
• Sometimes I think I’m emotionally unable to help people, my best method of comfort is making people laugh because I think I am funny.
• My humor is sarcastic, ironic and in some cases, quite dirty.
• Plus, I have a tendency to over share which is proven by this list!
