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: Adventures on Turtle Island

Thanks @Spookytookims, @Former-Member and @Phoenix_Rising. I appreciate you guys get it too. Hey lj - it's nice seeing you on Turtle Island 🙂

I woke up feeling kind of sad but then saw that the Easter bunny has visited the Island! It now looks like we have two bunny days this year and I think it's almost impossible to stay sad for long knowing that! 😊 I wonder if there's chocolate shells on the beach today? That would be kind of great, especially if they're those filled ones with squishy chocolate in the middle.

@CheerBear come quick, come quick, look what I found down on the shore. There are hundreds of them. Quick, come and help me collect them. The others are going to be super excited when we bring back all of these for breakfast. This will be my Turtle Island breakfast...as opposed to my Sydney breakfast which may possibly have been a giant slice of my triple chocolate cheesecake.

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

I know @Phoenix_Rising Hence the reference to us being on "Easter" Island. And why the bunny only dropped them off here... 😛

PS I have it on good authority more bags will be dropped off around the forum for Sunday morning. FYI. So it was deliberate only "Easter" Island got them today!

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

I wonder if it's similar to what I've just found @Phoenix_Rising , which appear to be thousands of kinder surprise eggs (i think they're leftovers from that shipping container in Germany). Maybe we will find Baboo in one!

In response to: Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

@CheerBear ROFL at the thought of Baboo appearing on our Island in a kinder surprise.

In response to: Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Baboo? Oh wow.. super excited!!! Mowgli must be arounf somewhere too. Wooohoooooo!! I love Mowgli and friends! @Phoenix_Rising And @CheerBear 😄

In response to: Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Oh bummer just realised.. that's Baloo not Baboo... dammit!! Pouting now!! 😞

In response to: Adventures on Turtle Island

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Hahaha @Spookytookims. Have you met Baboo? Baboo is a little green creature that hid in a cave with Phoenix_rising one day and that I think I found (and still have) in a kinder surprise. Baloo would be fun too!

In response to: Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Nope, did not know what or who baboo was, hence my erroneous thought of Baloo. IP @CheerBear But did think it must be a huge kinder surprise to have Baloo in it. Obviously also a surprise for Pheonix, to have Baboo in it too, apparently. 🙂

Re: Adventures on Turtle Island

Wooohooooooo Chocolate shells... we do sure live on an extra special island 😄 @CheerBear and @Phoenix_Rising 🙂 @Former-Member Is going to be super surprised!!
