He is, I think, very shy and was very nervous.
Maybe you shouldn't have brought the ass-hooks to the first date?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

There are good people in it, but the Church is corrupt.
That's my take. I mean, I know how good and thoughtful JZ is in her faith as are most of her fellow parishoners, but the institution is completely rotten (in my estimation).

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yay for a good date, Zenkitty!
Suzi, do you mind going back and editing your post if you get the chance? TCG would prefer to keep his name off the Internet.
