Lucy took the long way home.

You can find out nearly everything that needs be known about a new person by a number of first impression questions. You're introduced to someone and you subtly lay on them this series of questions which will, give or take, allow you to make a fairly good judgment moving forward.

Question #1 What's your favorite color?

Though a seemingly typical inquiry, favorite colors can reveal much about a person . Some may say "blue" or "green" or "yellow", while others elaborate "sky blue", "sea foam green", "mustard yellow." People can also be easily divided into the green/yellow or pink/red/purple families, with blue somewhere in the middle. The blue people are always extra tricky.

Question #2 What's your favorite book?

The real question hiding behind question #2 is "do you read?" There are readers and non-readers and a gap the size of Alaska in between.

Question #3 If you had a tattoo, what would it be and where?

Tattoo's are of relative importance and we can indirectly find through said question what the person finds important (or what they would like to display as important). Also, are they creative or do they want a butterfly on their right ankle?

Question #4 What is your middle name?

There is a slight difference between middle namers and those without. It's good to know a persons full name.

Question #5 What's your favorite jungle animal?

This question is all about how the subject answers, quickly or hesitantly. The coolest people always have an awesome jungle animal on the tip of their tongue.

People are generally easy to figure out, except for the ones really worth knowing. If you're lucky, after a million questions, you can ask "do you love me?"

Well, do you?

OutLANDish

Cleared a path through the unusual snowfall
Our hands were cold, our hearts warm in the wet snow

Asked me if I still believe in Santa Claus
Well, Santa Claus is a very fine fellow

When we reached that frozen lake,
I thought it looked like it was strong enough to stand on
Held your hand as we softly took the first step
Ignoring cracks, bubbles, we're strong swimmers
We'd be walking on water in the summer

Held our ground through low clouds and dark skies
Clothes were damp and our skins cold to the touch, touch

Asked ourselves if we still believe in old tales
Stories come and they go but they come from somewhere

When we jumped through that frozen lake
I thought the fire was a lovely thing to lean on
Kissed your cheek and said "Darling, we're strong swimmers but
if I go down you better call Holly to save me"

We'd be buried in the water in the summer
We'd be leaning on lake tides and lilies

We've got the biggest hearts
At a big love

And we're all strong swimmers

We've got the biggest hearts
At a big love

We've got the biggest hearts

And we're all
And we're all
And we're all
Strong swimmers
