I've been nominated by three people, so I'll have to answer three separate sets of questions.

My answers for Emma:
1. What are two colours you love?
Red and purple.

2. What is your favourite movie?
I love Elf, and Bridget Jones.

3. Do you like pens or pencils?
Pens, because pencils look messy unless they're constantly sharpened.

4. What is one of your guilty pleasures?
Looking at thinspiration.

5. What is one thing you can't leave the house without?
My iPod.

6. What is one thing you'll never ever do in life?
Have a penis.

7. What is one thing you've always dreamed of doing?
Travelling the world with no cares or responsibilities.

8. Has blogging changed your life at all? If so, how?
Yes, it has given me hope and friendship when I felt at my very lowest.

9. How would the perfect date night go for you?
Go to the cinema, because then I won't have to eat, and for him to be kind and respectful, then afterwards to go for coffee or a drink, so we can talk and laugh. Something simple but romantic like that.

10. What's one thing you wish you could do better?
Restrict my calorie intake.

11. What's one thing you love about your family?
They don't like to talk about problems.

My answers for Nichole S.:
1. Tell the story of your most embarrassing moment.
I don't know, there's probably too many to count. Maybe when I was queueing up on the stairs outside the school science labs when I was in year 8, and I fell down knocking down two of my friends with me, so we ended up in a heap on the floor with our school skirts up in front of everyone. Plus my friend got a massive bruise so I felt awful.

2. Do you have any brothers or sisters? How many?
I have one older sister, she's 19.

3. Talk about your hobbies/favourite activities.
I'm a pretty boring person I don't really have hobbies. I guess I like to read, especially classics, and listen to music pretty much 24/7. I also paint my nails a different colour most days, so I suppose that could be classed as a 'favourite activity'. 

4. What's your dream job?
My dream job would be maybe a book critic is a beautiful part of the world. By the sea, where it's sunny and surrounded by nature. Reading and analysing all day.

5. What are some things you hope to accomplish before you die?
I would like to reach my UGW of 95 lbs. That probably shouldn't be such a massive thing, but being 'too fat to die' has really kept me alive. I also want to visit some of the wonderful people who I have met through this blog. I would like to visit a lot of the standard tourist places as well, I'd love to travel.

6. What was your favourite childhood TV show or movie?
I have always been a fan of Mulan. I mean what's not to love?

7. If you could remove all the calories from any 1 food, what would it be?
Pizza.

8. If you were a super hero, what would your super power be, and what would your super hero name be?
I would love the ability to stop time, and my name would probably be 'Sidekick Sarah', that's what my friends used to call me when we played games in primary school. I was never deserving of a real name or power. 

9. What does your ideal vacation look like?
It would be somewhere really hot and sunny but breezy. Somewhere with really beautiful views and buildings, with a few of my close friends, and no food allowed.

10. Describe the first time you ever drank alcohol or took drugs.
This probably wasn't the first time I drank alcohol, but I think it's the first time I was ever drunk. I drank some cheap cider in the park with some friends, then me and one other friend walked round town and ended up in McDonalds where I fell off a stool. It was such a happy day, I was probably 12 or 13, and I barely drunk anything, but I still thought I was really drunk. 

11. What's your favourite thing about your home town?
It's really beautiful sometimes, and so safe. I can walk home at 4 am, absolutely drunk or high, and I have never been approached by any men. I know it's tempting fate and I try to get people to walk to home now, but I just feel safe here. 

And now to answer the questions from Rayya:
1. Tell me the weirdest thing you can about yourself.
Sometimes, if my throat is clear and I don't have any kind of illness, I can make noise that sounds just like a kettle. I can also touch my nose with my tongue, haha.

2. If you could only paint your nails one colour forever what colour would it be?
That's probably the toughest question I've ever been asked. Maybe black, because it's so elegant and peaceful and perfect. I really like black nail varnish.

3. If you had a million pounds what would you do with it?
I would buy loads of bags, shoes and clothes to begin with. Then maybe take some of my friends on a really nice warm holiday. Probably give the rest to my mum, with enough in savings for me to get a nice house when I'm older.

4. What is your favourite season and why? 
I like winter, as long as it's not raining. I love the warm jumpers which I can hide behind, and I love the build up to Christmas when everyone's happy and everything sparkles.

5. What is your favourite part of your body and why?
My favourite body part is probably my hands because they're really small, also because I can paint my fingernails any colour I want, so they can always reflect my mood.

6. Are you in recovery or suffering an ED?
I apparently have bulimia according to the mental health clinic, but I don't know. 

7. What are your lifelong goals that you hope to achieve?
I want to weigh under 95 lbs. It's a bad life aim, but I know that if I have never reached my goal at all in life then I will be really disappointed. I'd also like to read most of the classics, and visit the standard tourist places.

8. Tell me something you realistically hope to achieve before the year ends.
I would love to weigh under 120 lbs. 

9. Who is your favourite person in the whole world and why?
It seriously is you, Rayya. I would be completely lost without you, you are my anchor keeping me alive, whenever I'm sad you're the only person who can make me laugh. Today after an argument with my dad I was really upset, then  I just remembered you last night talking about getting drunk in a tree, ye Olde Elven Shite, and even now I'm smiling just thinking about it. The bracelet you gave me is a constant reminder that while I have you I'm never alone. Thank you so much for everything.

10.  What is your favourite item of clothing?
I have this really thick, baggy, warm, dark grey jumper. It's so comfy, and whilst it's quite unattractive on me I still love it.

11. If I could give you a ticket to go anywhere in the world where would it be and why?
I would love to go to Paris to visit Queenie, and I'd bring you along with me. I really want to meet the two of you at some point. 

And now for my 11 nominees (this took me so long of looking through everyone's blogs, and it was almost impossible to only pick 11, seriously if you're not on here you should be, and I'm so sorry):
