Adventures on Turtle Island

Adventures on Turtle Island

Edit:

Welcome to Turtle Island!

What began as a discussion about personality types based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, quickly found a few of us marooned on an Island in the shape of a turtle (see below), in the South Pacific. We are currently having all kinds of adventures using our MBTI types to work out what might happen. If you're looking for some light-hearted fun, everyone is welcome to come along to stay or just visit. (You can get an idea of your MBTI here if you're interested.) Recently we found a (non-existent) suggestion box on the Island, we think it's come from an elusive island neighbour, so you're welcome to just fly (or swim) past and drop us some suggestions too.

Niqueeta wrote a fabulous prelude to Turtle Island here:

Turtle Island : The Night Before

Spookytookims has written some awesome episodes which can be found here:

The First Morning

Turtle Island episode 2

Turtle Island episode 3 (this one even has pictures!)

Turtle Island episode 4: Shipwreck Salvage

Turtle Island: The Lurgi Strikes (part 1)

Turtle Island: The Lurgi Strikes (part 2)

We now have a welcome sign which is also our Island flag:

And here we are in a message in a bottle on the sand as drawn by Lil-Caterpillar!

Here are some views of our Island - isn't it spectacular?!

Looking forward to bumping in to you!

This is how it all began....

****************

Personality and what makes us us is something I find really interesting and I think there would be a few of us out there who share that interest.

@Spookytookims and I were having a chat about MBTI and the differences in our 'types'. I've found myself pondering what factors in our personalities might influence our interactions and the way a deeper understanding of people may improve communication. I like thinking about what makes two or more people 'click' or not.

While it's difficult to imagine the world being split into a small number of personality 'types', I am interested in what different personality tests offer us in terms of gaining insight or understanding.

Maybe an interesting discussion if anyone wants to join 🙂

Re: All things personality

I've been out on an adventure with someone who looks like I imagine an energizer bunny hyped up on red cordial would appear @Spookytookims. Had a super day, lots of those warm fuzzy mum moments but am exhausted and this one is still going. I've called quiet time for a 10 min cuppa before making dinner and starting movies. This little bunny does not stop talking, like ever. So watching movies is kind of like seeing a screen and hearing a running commentary on what's happening/about to happen with an added opinion on where/when/why the book was better. I do love it though and when bunny/fish told me they were going to write every single detail in their journal so they didn't forget the "best day ever", it made it worth it. Won't be around tonight unless there's a fish who crashes before me, but that's very unlikely. Hope you've had a good/great day/night 🐻❤💕

Re: All things personality

Awesome, fantastic, that sounds wonderful @CheerBear So happy for you! Nice compliment about the journal, how gorgeous!! Not too sure about the energizer bunny on red cordial... *gulp* that could be a bit f a handful. Hahaha love your description of the upcoming movie viewing experience! Hahaha sounds a bit like me when I was a kid. Remember - the movie spoiler? You the pigeon feelings? 😛 So glad you are having a great day, hopefully you will,crash tonight and get a good sleep just to top it all off. *Bears and hearts and stuff*

Re: All things personality

Ok so the meeting place in my mind is somewhere close by the cave. The cave is organised into sections or areas. There's somewhere for sleeping, somewhere for storing things etc. Just outside the cave there's an area that's flat and kind of open but sheltered by trees. We've moved some branches, or maybe you guys have found a way to make log bench seats with vines and stuff, and positioned them in kind of a square/circle - full kumbaya style, ready for a fire to be in the circle/square when we (you) get it started. That's the 'gather' place in my mind at least. I'm happy to meet on the beach though.

@Spookytookims - I've been meaning to ask your thoughts on types in relationships. Do you believe in the whole 'opposites attract thing? No need to answer anytime soon, just something I'm curious to hear your thoughts on.

Re: All things personality

@CheerBear lol omg! awesome! Here Im thinking of sitting around on the sand.. and you have this whole intricate concept set up and organised in a masterfully thought out way! Very impressive. I will get back to you on that after I sleep. Too tired to process something so alien to my practical logical brain! Not saying what you described isn't those things, not at all! Just alien to my framework skeleton structures on the nature of everything. 😛 Brilliant! Love it!

Re: All things personality

Haha don't worry, i gathered (lol) that's what you meant. My brain struggles to process alien things all the time. But I love the challenge to! Sleepy well spooky 🙂

Re: All things personality

@Former-Member here's some things you'll be making for us on our island. Please note the turtle, you will have to figure that one out for yourself, I only know how to make the practical items, the turtle is a gift for @Phoenix_Rising

In response to: Re: All things personality

Re: All things personality

@CheerBear Ok I have to show you this. I hope you get a chuckle out of it. i LMAO'd at your Egyptology comment so I've done a quick mindmap of frameworks in my head linked and devoted to Egyptology. And bear in mind each of these titles have their own supporting network and framework, also cabinet of pending files. Not to mention it expands way out further off these ones. Right up to today. 😛
