I don't think there's anything remotely weird about Cold Stone Creamery. His thought you might find it weird is weird, but it's pretty much like meeting at Starbuck's, isn't it?
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Something about Cold Stone Creamery Man made the *Caution* lights come on in my brain. I don't know why.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
It's only this bit that makes me raise my eyebrows:
I am guessing you haven't been to one.
Like, really? Aren't they kind of everywhere?
But if he seems cool otherwise, I don't see anything wrong with saying "Unfortunately I'm lactose intolerant and can't enjoy ice cream! How about [place erin actually wants to go] instead?"

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I can see his explanation of the place setting off some bells. I feel like it would be like someone telling me, "Let's meet at Whole Foods, it's an organic grocery store, but many of them have cafes in them where you can get prepared foods or hit the salad bar." Like I'd never have heard of this offbeat place if they hadn't described it to me.

I don't think that it's weird, he was probably trying to think of an interesting place for a date that wasn't coffee. Of course, your being lactose intolerant makes is a bad place for a date, and you should tell him that. If he says "oh, you could have a smoothie", then he's using you to get ice cream.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I are not deaded. Although the two-day migraine is making me feel like I am. This is not unrelated to the three-days-and-counting of torrential rain we're having. We go off to the Greenbelt festival tomorrow. We've got a campervan to sleep in. It still needs to stop raining.
Hello, Bitches!

This, exactly.
