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

@CheerBear Do it your way. Let's see how it goes. As I said I'm easy, but do also feel the two are intertwined so keep it all here makes the most sense plus it's your thread 🙂 So go for it. The island pics are in my public file now so grab them whenever you need them. I hope you have access to them now doh!!! sorry about that.

Re: All things personality

@Spookytookims - it's our thread 🙂

Yay and thanks. I'll play with it tonight! 😊

Re: All things personality

Hey @CheerBear Had a thought. Bust in case you hadn't thought of it I'm putting it "out there" How about the pic/s of Turtle island in the first post then underneath have a list... like Episode 1: page Xx and maybe the link to the page, or the page number enough. With each episode you just add the Episode # and page number. Or that front post is going to be mighty long, and mighty daunting read. Plus directing to the page can see posts relevant to that episode's creation.

just a thought. No pressure. Just thinking of practicalities.

Re: All things personality

Fab idea! Love it @Spookytookims. I've got my tablet on charge readt to get my tech on tonight 🙂

How's your day going today?

Re: All things personality

Oooh hello @Former-Member. Fancy seeing you on our island. Where did you spring from??? @Spookytookims how are you going to explain @Former-Member's sudden appearance on our island??? Did you know that Lunar is a sea turtle just like me? Maybe she just happened to swim by. Hee hee...of all the islands in all the oceans, Lunar chose this one to land on.

@Former-Member you made me giggle. You said you were looking forward to the story unravelling. I think you meant "unfolding"...though with the disorganized rabble I seem to be stuck with on this island, I can well imagine the situation unravelling!

@CheerBear I don't mind at all what you choose to do re. organising the thread.

Re: All things personality

Lol @Phoenix_Rising I'm just rolling my eyes @ you girl. Going with the flow is definitely not your thang is it? I'm really confused though... I was pretty sure lunar was the moon, so would have been that thing in the sky at night.. ya know. You are going to have to explain the sea turtle metamorphis, is she a changeling? Now there's a bit of unravelling right there 😛

@CheerBear sorry I loogged off, I was in a bit of a hurry my two earlier visis I should have said. But on the ipad I just hate extra typing so I was remiss in explaining my movements, but I thought you were busy painting. How much did you get done and what colours are you using? I see how all this ties in with your cave and meeting area organising and re-modelling comes in, by the way. 😛

@Former-Member I knew what you meant about the story, but like Phoenix I got a chuckle out of it too. I just imagined it as a ball of string. You held the loose end in one hand and threw the tight ball over the cliff with the other, and saw all the story come nto view in one long line as it unravelled to the ground. 😄 See that's a P vs a J for ya! Lol But technically, Phoenix is correct in her observation. 🙂

---------------

had a chuckle @ you Cheerbear, going to get your tech on. I hope you're not too tired, seems like you had a full day painting.

Re: All things personality

Tools down for the night. Need to wash up still and have a shower and duck to the shop before I can properly sit down but I got heaps done. @Spookytookims - i finished one room (a sitting area) and have put a coat on the second which is a huge master room. Was going to do an ensuite but no chance of getting the time. Going from gross shades of blue to antique white with an olive green feature wall. It's a country style house so it's very fitting. This totally ties in with my island personality. Under stress I nest big time. I'm full punk style Suzy homemaker meets energizer bunny. Cook, clean, scrub, bake, paint, craft, organise... it's very productive at least lol. I'm tired but have way too much energy (anxiety). Better get going again but be back later to work out hyperlinks. Hope you've all had a good day 🙂

Re: All things personality

@Spookytookims you are right in saying I don't go with the flow. Nope, no going with the flow for this little turtle. I need to know what we are doing, when, and where. "Flexible" is not exactly a term that gets used a lot in reference to me.

I know that @Former-Member is a sea turtle because she posted pictures of herself on my riding the wave thread. Whether she changes between being a moon and a turtle, I'm not sure. Please don't do that @Former-Member. I super like it that you are a sea turtle and plus, I DON'T DO CHANGE!!!!!!!!!

Re: All things personality

Oh @Phoenix_Rising I am kinda the opposite to you .. flexible chameleon .. to a fault.. LOL

We have 7 gorgeous tortoises in a room for kids .. I know they are not turtles .. they change very very slowly ... and 4 of them live to 100 years, the other 3 are harder to find, blend into the background ... who knows if they are changing or not???

Re: All things personality

Hey @Appleblossom Not "seen " you around for ages. What MBTI are you? Would love to write you in, even if you just do one for "fun" like The Vorticon did. Not aure if you do fun though 🙂 I remember you saying you were trying to be less serious these days but you were historically pretty serious. So no worries if you don't want to theow your result in the mix. 🙂

I also very much am on your go with the flow... which if you read what's going on with the island dynamic, it's causing me a bit of angst balancing Phoenix' structure needs with my blaaagh rules.,, no thanks hinga will work out attitude.

@Phoenix_Rising *rips up ideas for making lunar a changeling.* then stops.... but.... but.... if she is permanently a changeling isn't that still structure? Just like you are a turtle, she is a changeling, CHeerbear Gryllls is a oink bear, Caterpillar is a caterpillar... see? It can work, yes?

@CheerBear Lol @ Suzy housemaker on energiser bunny charge! Now that I could use in my housework. I used to be so much that way. Woukd love to have it back.

I just see little pink Cheerbear Grylls in a little pinafore, racing all over the house; vacuuming, rearranging, tidying, moving things to that "just right" position, straightening pics on the wall and using Mr Sheen all over the place. Then standing back proudly with that little ping star brightness shining off everything. 😄
