Adventures on Turtle Island

@CheerBear I forgot to reply about this before, but you can feel free to post my pintrest type stuff if you want (if you haven't already done it, this thread moves heaps quickly sometimes!). I won't be offended either way 🙂

I'll just take your word on the P vs J thing @Spookytookims. Can't say it bothers me either way haha.

Apparently it is a general male thing. A lot of the time I actually find it somewhat relaxing to follow assembly instructions though. There's something nice and satisfying about assembling something without having to think about it, and then figuring out what on earth they meant in spots where the instructions suddenly become ambiguous or altogether misleading.

For the story... At my fortress (I upgraded the mancave), I hope I've got a couple of rope ladders and a bit of a treehouse thing going. Working on the upper body I always wanted but never bothered with on the "mainland", so a bit of a monkeybar setup from tree to tree. If anyone visits, I'll hopefully know in advance thanks to my early warning detection system... So I'll give myself time to decide if I want to be found or not, unless somone/thing makes it past without setting it off or I'm not paying attention 😛 Valuable supplies are raised off the ground, although I've also got a "useful junk" pile that seems like it could be useful someday, but certainly not today, and quite possibly never 😛

@Spookytookims

I've seen people talking about a test - so I found a personality one . . . and it has letters. Aparantly I'm a INFP-T

hahaha @TheVorticon eerie quite eerie.. think my base model may be just the thing, well certainly in line with that.. and yes.. I also have plans to upgrade to a fortress... have it ready actually! 😛 so thank you! love it! Glad you had a good day yesterday too 🙂

lol @ the junkpile... may even have the beginning so that too.. after all.. the pink snorkeling kit was somewhere 😛

@CheerBear nooo don't get sick! rug up rug up.... that's the last thing you need. But as for the island.. did you not see those bear things??? I think we have a lot of carebears there for anyone who gets sick. 🙂

We'll have all sorts of domesticated animals and swings, and cave organisation..... and starvation.. in no time! 😛

@Former-Member I read your results... they are interesting.. now of course it's more about what you think of them because you know yourself best. Do you think any of the stuff on INFP you have seen relates to you? I know Cheerbear thinks quite a bit of what she has read relates to her which makes it easier for me to "get" her cos I need information to process.

I put my signature in by going into (profile) settings and choosing personal information, there is a line there you can add a sig.

@Spookytookims

I don't really understand it.
I'm pretty obviously introverted, but I wouldn't have thought anyone could be %100!
I would have thought I was more observant, I thought I noticed lots of things - but I suppose it's really just certain things, things that appear in patterns.
I can't say I'm happy about the percentage of thinking, but I do have trouble controlling my emotions and everything seems to come back to fear.
To be honest I don't know what is meant by 'Prospecting' and I don't like to think I'm judging 42% of everything 😉
I know I'm not very assertive, but it seems a very low mark; and I don't really know what's meant by 'Turbulent' - but my life is and always has been a mess, so maybe that's right too.

@CheerBear Oh I super hope you aren't getting sick in real life. I too seem to be blessed with a great immune system and very rarely pick up bugs. As for what happens to those who get sick on the island - definitely quarantine...but with lots of care bears provided and lots of support via...er...do we have wifi on the island? The reason I had to add that is because when I wrote "definitely quarantine" I got an icky feeling/memory of being locked in isolation in the psych ward so the thought of isolating someone is icky...but I'm still not into sharing germs.

Thanks @Phoenix_Rising me too! Hitting it with lots of water and hopefully an early bed.

I was waiting to see whether we'd have a quarantiner and predicted it may be you Phoenix_Rising. I like that you're a kind one though. I'm all up for diving in head first into nursing someone who is sick and forgetting or ignoring that maybe it could be something terribly contagious and lethal. Maybe it's that thing about INFPs in movies as being the 'ones to sacrifice themselves'! Now there's a whole clan of us on the island I wonder whether we'd be fighting between ourselves as to who gets to dive in though, overlooking the finer details like the person who is actually sick, and ending up in a big mess. Also as part of a self care plan following topic tuesday, I need to keep in mind the idea that I 'can't help someone if I can't help myself' so now I am left kind of staring at the idea of a sick person and not knowing what to do! I might have to spend some time in that hammock looking at the stars and working it. Or just leave it up to @Spookytookims who is doing an amazing job of stepping in where my T part steps out 😉

I'm going to say goodnight now. I'm feeling very blegh. It's kind of a nice change to have blegh in a more physical rather than emotional/mental way tonight. Being able to point at my throat and say 'that hurts' is pleasantly simple. If only thoughts and feelings were more like that sometimes!

Goodnight friends 🙂
