Okay. I did some research. Facts!
1. There was a comic book villain called island man or something like that, I think it was X-men, but I know it was one of the X’s (force, factor, Excalibur, neXt? They kinda all run together….) and umm… they where looking for him, cuz there was a huge mutant power blip on there finding powerful mutants robot, and they couldnt find him, and then the discovered he WAS the island. It would have been a great plot twist if the cover hadnt given it away. I remember feeling jipped.
2.”To escape to an island in a dream may mean the peace of solitude is needed by the dreamer. A further
meaning is that the dreamer is afraid of the surrounding waters of her unconscious and wishes to
remain isolated from her inner feelings.”
3.(from a veterinary text…)
“A cluster of cells or an isolated piece of tissue.
* blood i’s — aggregations of mesenchymal cells in the angioblast of the embryo, developing into
vascular endothelium and blood cells.
* i. of Calleja — discrete group of very small nerve cells in the olfactory tubercle of the
forebrain.
* i’s of Langerhans — see islet of Langerhans.
* i. outbreak — outbreak limited to a specific population, usually a herd, caused often by a
localized lack of immunity in a closed herd.”
This could actually be awesome, I dunno what to do with it.
4. Those concrete things in parking lots and streets, sometimes the ones in streets have grass or plants, depending on where you are (traffic islands… yeah… Im reaching.)
5.”John Donne –
No man is an island entire of itself; every man
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
own were; any man’s death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”
That last one might actually be useful. This is apparently how my brain works. Maybe Ill just make a game about pirates, they can collect treasure. God that sounds boring.
