No. Unless your meatballs are made of ground bacon instead of beef. Pineapple goes well with bacon, and fish, because the sweetness balances the saltiness of the meat. But beef isnt salty like that.

I’m NT (I think) but I resonate with this. I have an online friend that I’ve known since about 2005; he’s autistic, though neither of us knew that at the time (late diagnosis). Anyway, around 2014 or so, he just… disappeared. He was going through some nasty relatioship issues so I figured he needed time to get things sorted, or was maybe depressed (I have experience of that and I know the last thing I want to do when I’m depressed is talk to people). Anyway… in 2021, he messaged me again out of the blue, and we literaly did just pick up right where we left off, and its great. We immediately went back to chatting nearly every day, and still do. And he’s now happily divorced.

I have both; all the main rituals are hand written, but everything is digital as well. There’s a phrase passed down that says the Book should be “in your own hand of write”, but years back, the joke was “in your own hand of write, or that of your own dot-matrix printer”. I guess that has been upgraded since then (it was before inkjets and laser printers existed).

I have a daily diary, I write evening pages, sort of stream-of-consciousness. I don’t do it in the morning because (a) I am very much a night owl and (b) if I wait until morning I won’t remember what I did yesterday. First thing in the morning though, I pull a tarot card and set it aside, and at the end of the day I reflect on how it applied to the day’s events.

I don’t bullet journal for tasks and productivity, all that goes in the calendar app on my phone.

And I have a Book of Shadows (cos I am a pagan) and that seems to qualify as being a very specific type of Commonplace book. In there I record monthly rituals, sabbats, as well as reference information pertaining to things like tarot, astrology, herbalism etc. In practise, this takes up more than one book; one for rituals, one for tarot and one for everything else.
