The great sea battle off Cape Trafalgar in October 1805

So, the martial discord randomness meme got me too. =) I have been tagged by Hrafn Thorisson to come up with 7 random facts about me and post them here along with a random photo of a martial discord [above].

Of course I have to mention the rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
5. Present an image of martial discord from whatever period or situation you’d like.

Now we have a technical glitch. =P I can’t exactly tag 7 people for this! Why you ask? Because I already did! =)) Less than a year ago, Optimus passed something to me that was similar to this meme, and at that point I asked “who wants to do this?” and I ended up tagging every English speaking blogger I know!! So I’m afraid I can’t have them do it again, although the rules are different and so I’m writing this. [There may be overlaps though! =P] So I guess I’ll leave it open. If there’s anyone who would like to re-write this, let me know! Or maybe I’ll figure out who didn’t write it last time. =)

As to my own 7 random facts… there we go:

1 – When I’m asked about my origins, I usually say “Persian – Welsh”, cause those are the major 2. But if I go into the details, the answer will look more like this: “Persian – Welsh – Turkish – Indian – Russian”. =) Oh, I also am legally Canadian.

2 – When I had just turned 9, one day in school the comp-sci teacher of the high-school kiddies caught me messing around with QBasic in the high-school computer lab. And that’s how my coding career started. [She started teaching me stuff and….]

3 – I have a sort of an affinity with the colour blue. I loved the colour ever since I was a kid [apparently it was the first colour I showed reaction to as an infant], which is why my friends put the “Aasemoon” nickname on me. Aasemoon is Persian for sky. [And I love height too!]

4 – I hate coffee with a passion. And everybody I ever come across, guess what, loves coffee!! My friends, family, colleagues, class-mates and school buddies…. somebody rescue me!

5 – I love LEGO. I’ll never grow out of this. =)) I still buy LEGO, build stuff with LEGO and enjoy it. Yeah.

6 – I’m an optimist by nature. I believe in a higher power at work and I believe that everything happens for a good reason.

7 – I’m a proven and recognized musicphile. I listen to music from morning to night, while working, studying… doing whatever it is that I may be doing. I enjoy almost all genres, types and styles of music, and I can effectively change my own mood or improve my energy levels using the right combination of tracks. I’m however not an audiophile, because although I love high-quality sound, but I enjoy music regardless of what sort of device its coming out of.

Ok, that’s it. Now since as I said I can’t just re-tag everyone, if you’re up to writing this, give me a shout and I’ll tag you! =P
