Sex on the beach...with cacti?

So, I wanna write about Desert Dropping, quite possibly my favourite gay fiction novel thing of all time. I started re-reading it last week just on a whim. Its amazing how in a piece of literature, you can infuse so much of yourself into the characters, that it actually makes you feel the the other characters as though you know them personally, and you empathize with how they go through their lives.
I guess I mostly identify with Seth. Really, its not just the obsession with baseball caps. Okay fine, that's a bit of a net positive with me, ballcaps are part of my look and y'all really just have to learn to deal with it. There's more to it than that obviously. I don't really feel like getting deeply involved in how I see myself as Seth. Any of y'all that have read Desert Dropping probably have enough firing neurons to figure it out on your own, so I won't insult your intellect by doing the work for you. The rest of you who HAVEN'T read it. Ummm, GO READ IT NOW, MY BLOG CAN WAIT.
I guess, if you can call me Seth, I'm kind of stuck in a reality where I'm forever waiting for my Rory to arrive, which is actually kind of awkward. I don't mean Rory in the sense that I want a virgin to despoil, I mean more that I'm looking for someone who wants to take things slow, who's simply happy with my company instead of my cock. There's not enough of that in the world, you know? And maybe I'm guilty of going way too fast too, sometimes I act out of character, to extend the metaphor a bit. I don't really have an Aaron to play off of though, I'm just kind of there, and that's a harder position to come from instead of being someone who's had some dating experience, I have to be the new guy to it all, and that makes it harder for me to be the person I want to be, the protector who makes sure everything's alright in the world for the people I love. So I guess not as much like Seth as I thought, but still mainly like him.
Anyways, read the story, its deliciously well done.
