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 🙂

@Spookytookims well, if Luna's a changling, she's a changling I guess. Do you think maybe she can change on a schedule???

Re: All things personality

Yes that is totally me @Spookytookims haha.

So I just read "cheerbear grylls is a oink bear" and have spent the last 9 minutes since you posted that wondering why I am a pig now, and where there was a pig on the island. Then thinking that if there was a pig you guys would probably want to eat it and make some really nice pillows or something out of it's skin and I would want to turn it into a pet so I would start clearing a pen next to the gather ground. I think i'd call it daisy.

Then I realised that maybe you meant "pink bear".

Fairy floss brain :S

Re: All things personality

@Phoenix_Rising Yep! Lunar cycle... easy to write in some kind of schedule there... 😄

@CheerBear oink and I also stuffed up things.. I really shouldn't type posts on my ipad! I keep saying it, but keep doing it anyhow! Or I need to get an external keyboard to see my whole ipad screen, cos I just miss too much!

oh and... There could be pigs on the island but that would have to the @TheVorticon's job to preparetyem for dinner. I can make a way to cook it, and probably a way to catch it, but no way could I end it's life. Well not until we are months and months on the island I couldn't imagine. Possibly @Phoenix_Rising being more pragmatic than me regarding that might be able to help get it to the dinner table... or is she vegetarian so therefore in the same "make it a pet' category as we are? Phoenix? The Vorticon? Thoughts on your position on this one?

Course Cheerbear grylls has the pillows in mind! And we are ALL surprised about that one! 😛 Lucky she is going to find a kapok tree... how are you going to sew it Cheerbear Grylls?

In response to: Re: All things personality

Re: All things personality

I really have no idea @Spookytookims because the only pets I am ok with being pillows are the ones like in @Phoenix_Rising 's turtle technique.

Oh I have an idea - there's some rope from the boat I think. If we need something to sew with maybe we can unwind the rope into little threads? I'll find leaves, big ones though so you don't have to turn daisy into a pillow pet 🙂

Re: All things personality

@CheerBear and @Spookytookims Nope, don't look to me to k*ll the pig. I am a total animal nut - no way I could be doing any killing of piggy-wiggys!!!!! And now, it is past my curfew so I am about to head off for the night. I probably won't check in until tomorrow evening...when I should have another neurofeedback story to tell you. night.

Re: All things personality

Lol OMG she's already named the pig! LOL Daisy!

@Phoenix_Rising and @CheerBear

In response to: Re: All things personality

Re: All things personality

Oooh best of luck with that @Phoenix_Rising Hope it's not cancelled this time.. especially in view of what we know about you now! Looking forward to your update in your neurofeedback thread! *fingers crossed* for you.

Re: All things personality

Ideally I would love a cow because we could have all kinds of yum milk foods and drinks that way, but I don't think we're going to be lucky enough to find a cow on the tropical looking island. So a pig named daisy will do.

I'm about to attempt to change the name of this thread, add a welcome to TI and intro to what the whole thing is about so hopefully other people might come past or join in, and then try to link in the episodes. If I can do this without getting distracted it will be a great achievement. It should look and be pretty cool after though!
