i do need to come up with some sort of talking points as to what my book is about without scaring away n00bs.
"Come to L.A. and live in my home!"
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I think that proteins switch on the "I'm full" feeling. Carbs make you feel full fleetingly but proteins keep you going.
I'm a weirdo then. I've had plenty of protein. Still HUNGRY.
I thought fat was the thing that kept you feeling full longer, but while I haven't been avoiding fat, really it's hard to up one's fat intake when one is cutting out sugar and irrelevant carbs.
This was me when I did the low-carb thing a couple of years ago. Eating nothing but salad and protein, I felt hungry all the time.
Glad it's not just me.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, good, sumi. I was watching the hockey game that bumped it, and I was all, okay I'm enjoying the hockey, but I really wanted to see the Barbaro special, too.
Who are you cheering for in this Derby?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fat switches on my "I'm full" feeling enough that I'll have a dab of mayonnaise (well, I would--gives me headaches now) if I knew I wasn't going to eat for a while.
I went for lunch and had a garden salad and then a coffee latte afterwards.
That's so not me that I'm feeling very dizzy.
I wasn't hungry enough to finish the whole salad either.
