Something about Cold Stone Creamery Man made the *Caution* lights come on in my brain. I don't know why.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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

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!
Have a Day, Barb. Hope it's a good 'un!

yes. Precisely. But if everything else has been normal just suggest something else.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I don't mind someone explaining. He doesn't really know what kinds of things you know yet. I once spent some time explaining who Randy Newman was to someone who turned out to know a whole lot about music and they were incredibly gracious about it.
