Hi Mark – I think Andy (my chap) h...Been away.....<br /><br />Hi Mark – I think Andy (my chap) has read that...will dig it out...<br /><br />Codgi – me too - what I particularly love is the idea that you are made aware of your perception (and that there are others) early on in life and then spend effort trying to understand others...as an INTJ – you’d be a buffalo of course – with thinking as your dominant function (inward facing)!!! <br /><br />FF – ESFJ would make you dominant feeler function – but that’s obvious no? Yes I’d struggle if I was told I couldn’t talk to my son for two years but I do like the idea of mentors.<br /><br />Codgi – INTJ would not be a very pretty tattoo!!! A buffalo might be a bit better?<br /><br />Eric – ‘going to the rocky plateau to die’.....that must be quite a way to go..<br /><br />Hi Ken D – I have been being odd with the blog...sort of not really doing it but doing it. I am just trying not to spend too much time on it – so posted a load that I had sort of constructed and not posted at once – in an impulsive moment. The posts keep the original date of construction – so appear to have been posted earlier than they were. Not sure what I am up to. Eagle bashing into the mountains because of a strong side wind perhaps?<br /><br />Heron – that sounds grand. If you are an ENTJ - why you’ll be a buffalo too....if you are (with the eagle as a secondary function)<br /><br />Mr T – hey that sounds pretty special. You have a great quirky style to the way you express things...on your blog too.Molly Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322262170382594290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438823154447008264.post-79071002983953922492010-04-14T20:08:45.929+01:002010-04-14T20:08:45.929+01:00Nah me neither, I'm some sort of bivalve or a ...Nah me neither, I'm some sort of bivalve or a Salmon, that would be nice. I went to Canada when I was 12, my dad won some dosh as part of a pools syndicate, They lived up on the Skeena (I think) which is some way up from Vancouver and some way from anything at a hydro plant town called Kemano. We spent a fascinating month arsing around in the middle of nowhere. two weeks in Kemano itself (2 hours by boat from Kitimat), and two weeks driving down through the coastal ranges. One of the most fascinating bits for me, apart from seeing Star Wars before all my mates did and Salmon fishing, was actually seeing bits of "North American Indian" as they were then called, or "First Nation" culture. My Bro lived smack in the middle of Haisla (people of the snow) tribal area which is North of the Haida area, they're quite a totemic people and I saw plenty of Thunderbirds and whales and stuff like that while we were there.<br /><br />It was in my eyes really cool, I didn't fall out of love with it all until that dickhead Ian Astbury started poncing about as part of the Bradford branch of whatever tribe he thought he as in in about 1985, then it palled a bit. But I do like the graphics style, and still have some of the local artwork, painted onto hardened tree fungus by one of my brothers mates at the time. i also had some books which outlined all of the animal types and legends, but they got nicked when I lived in a shared house years ago. Cool, thanks for reminding me about this stuff Molly.typejunkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193470352141870743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438823154447008264.post-73504367752062521952010-04-13T21:29:24.100+01:002010-04-13T21:29:24.100+01:00We had a Native American whose sole purpose of vis...We had a Native American whose sole purpose of visiting us, was to do a Peace Pipe Ceremony up in our local mountains in a location of our choice.<br /><br />It was good, we enjoyed it.

The old indian had a large amount of land near the oil town 'Graham' where we lived for a while.<br /><br />He was sick towards the end and went out on a rocky plateau by himself to die. That's kind of the way with the indians.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174000870387556118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438823154447008264.post-47747624115387106752010-04-12T10:21:25.983+01:002010-04-12T10:21:25.983+01:00Perhaps I should have INTJ tatooed on my forehead,...Perhaps I should have INTJ tatooed on my forehead, with a score against each one to show how well I get on with people with the opposite leaning.Mark In Mayennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987723233401368368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438823154447008264.post-19902018824508842792010-04-12T09:14:13.325+01:002010-04-12T09:14:13.325+01:00I'm definitely not a buffalo - no way (but Mr ...I'm definitely not a buffalo - no way (but Mr FF is totally).
