Oh, noes, it's a meme!
Saw a random set of questions on somebody else's LJ thingie and answered them. Note the demonstration of my new mastery of the LJ cut.
Q. Geekiest part of your music collection?
A: The complete Tom Lehrer.
Q: What do you eat when you raid the fridge at night?
A: I don't. No, really. But probably I'd go straight for the cheese.
Q: What is your secret guaranteed weeping movie?
A: Crouching Tiger.
Q: What's a weird thing that you do everyday?
A: Weird? Um. I do plenty of stuff as every day routine, but I wouldn't call it weird.
Q: Do you have a completely irrational fear?
A: Heights. I get vertigo. I ride rollercoasters to get over it.
Q: What is a physical habit that gives away your insecurities?
A: Wearing layers of baggy clothing.

A: My hiptop.

A: Innocence; the belief that the world wasn't horrible.
Q: Are you happy with your given name?
A: No. I switched to using my initials and a nickname derived from them 20 years ago, and haven't looked back. The first thing a self-made man should do is name himself, as one of those early movie producer dudes once said. Allegedly.
Q: How much money would it take to give up the internet?

Q: What's something you love and hate?
A: Fanfiction.
Q: What kind of bedding do you use?

A: Latin.
Q: What do you order at a bar?
A: Guinness.
Q: Have you ever pierced your body parts?

Q: What do you cook best?

A: Cadillac.
Q: What kind of books do you like to read?
A: Anything written by somebody who can construct a good English sentence.

A: Invest it all. Retire somewhere cheaper to live (Oregon, maybe) if the income from the investments was good enough.
Q: Burial or cremation?
A: Cremation.
Q: What's one thing you are a sore loser at?
A: Hearts. I pitched a major fit last time I got creamed. And I always get creamed. I don't mind losing at Counterstrike. I get lots of practice losing that, too.
Q: Do you cry in front of your friends?
A: Not if I can help it.
Q: What kind of first impression do you think you give people?
A: Geeky.
Q: What's one thing you like to do alone?

A: One.
