Inquisitor
Hi everyone. I'm Dee Dee, a journalism student from the Pacific Northwest. As my user name implies I am one who likes to search or seek out things. I like to ask questions and get people to think. Right now, I mainly write short stories, poems, and news articles in order to get people to think about what is going on now and perhaps provide the spark for others to come to a solution.
