You say, "Beauty is within us, your mother knows"

"There's a beauty that's within us, just like a rose"

You say, "Beauty is within us, so let it grow"

But it's grown so dark... I cannot see you anymore!***

[edit] More about me

I was a college student who majored in economics – I graduated and moved back home. I'm currently employed in retail, but I want to go to grad school, and become a professional economist. I like anime — my favorite titles include Code Geass, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Kino's Journey, RahXephon, and My-HiME. There is a page about me in the Creatures Wiki. After many times of hitting the "Random article" link, I have finally run into an article I've seen before (and remember): Shogi.

Types of mustard

A collage of six mustard images: Seeds of the mustard plant (top left) may be ground (top right) to make different kinds of mustard. The four mustards pictured are a simple table mustard with turmeric coloring (center left), a Bavarian sweet mustard (center right), a Dijon mustard (lower left), and a rough French mustard made mainly from black mustard seeds (lower right).

*Insane in this context refers to my own feeling of an article's topic. Think "Interesting and weird." Compare and contrast: Wikipedia:Unusual articles.

First of all, some notes on why I like to hang out at AFD. I do not consider myself a deletionist. On the contrary, I like reading AFD for the stuff that gets kept. Many of the articles on my "Insane" list above were examined on AFD at one point or another, or brought up as an example in discussion. So basically, I read AFD because interesting stuff comes up there.

On Sept. 12, 2004. My nomination of List of windmills, which at the time was blank, was mentioned on Nooks and Corners of Wikipedia. Although I wish we could have gotten better results on cleanup, the ultimate result was pretty good.

Record on per "vote" basis (maybe slightly off):
