No Doctor Who. No sex. No nothing. I want to go out and KILL something.

From an entry in this journal slightly over a year old: "I can never lose the compulsion to desperately want people to like me and, although it's stupid and I KNOW it, it stings more than it should when someone half a world away doesn't give me as much attention as I want."
I had to click on the comments in that entry to find out who I'd even been talking about. At least the current crush is someone substantial with a good grounding of friendship and shared interests; someone who'll stay interesting once the fizzy, dizzy crush energy dissipates. I may be a big old e-slut but I do have bloody good taste.
In other news, I am debating with myself about letting Squish play ball trailing his long (10 metre) leash behind him rather than keeping hold of it. Pros: he'd be able to run a sensible distance instead of doing lots of little short sprints that he isn't built for. He would really, really love it. Cons: the chance of him taking off and me not being able to grab/step on the leash in time to stop him running out of the park. It's a relatively small chance, smaller than it's ever been - his recall has improved amazingly. He responds instantly now under nearly all circumstances - but I know him, and I also know none of it would stand up to a running cat. And Squish, unlike Spike, has always been hard to re-engage once his attention is lost. I don't know how far his new, learned responsiveness would counteract that tendency. I'd be grateful for any thoughts. What would you do if he were yours?
