Room 101 and 102

What are the things you absolutely detest? Those little things that, given half the chance, you would lock up in a room forever and quite happily never have to see, or face again. This was the question I was posed with in year 11- for an English Speaking Presentation. Let's get this straight from the begining- I dread English Speaking Presentations. Ask anyone in Monkton Combe and they'll give you a stream of 'funny' (or just plain embarassing!) stories about me mucking up my words.... infront of lots of people. I have a presentation coming up actually- lets hope I don't do it again!
Anyway. Room 101. The room where anything you want can disapear... here's a list of mine:
  • Blushes
  • Raisins
  • Paper-cuts
  • Money
  • Spots
  • Flies
  • Sewing Machines that don't work
  • Out of tune guitars
  • The sound of people chewing
  • Sore throats
  • COLDNESS
  • Exhaustion but not sleep
  • Showers that dribble
  • Shoes that break in five days
  • Gossiping
  • Talking during the climax of a movie.... or maybe even the begining. okay all of it!
  • Cold tea
  • Bumps (Trypophobia! It's a horrible thing.)

Do you have any rational or irrational fears like these? If so, banish them to room 101! Haha, Gina just read that and said it sounded like some sort of 'self help' thing, ha. This may sound like a list of complaints, or a good old moan- and it's not good to do this as we should celebrate the many blessings God keeps providing, even in the face of our perhaps not-so-good actions. And so, I have invented room 102! (Original I know) A room of celebration, where you would put all the lovely things you enjoy in life, for example...

  • Tea
  • Guitars and Pianos!
  • Friendships
  • Pen and paper
  • Dogs
  • Warmth
  • Lasagna
  • All the musical genius' out there (Switchfoot, Jenny and Tyler etc... :))
  • Education- an underrated priveldge in the western world :( but an amazing chance.
  • Cameras
  • Carnations
  • A good book
  • Butterflies
Are there any you would add?

Godbless,
Milla
