Why do you think it is some people don't get along with you?
Because I club their skulls open to feast on the life-giving essence inside.
Understandable, really.
What television show stands the test of time?
I have to agree with this guy. After all, they've done studies (PDF).
What's your favorite card game?
Hard call since I don't get to play them very often. Fluxx is cool; Chrononauts is good but complicated, so I've gotten to play it even less. Broken made me play a lot of Gloom, which is okay since it's a pretty good game too. There was a cool New Year's party back east where a bunch of us played Pit, which was totally fun, but there are zero situations in which I can play something with that many players lately.
By time played in the past couple years surely it's Uno on Xbox Live. Which is sad to say.
How many IM addresses do you have? What are they for?
Almost submitted by clippedwings. But not.
Like most old hands at Internet, I have a bunch of IM accounts: AIM, work AIM, mobile AIM, ICQ, Y!M, Google Talk, LiveJournal Talk, work talk. I did revive my canceled Twitter account, to keep the name, but I should probably rebuild my network so I can if I ever make the in-browser update spooler I want (sort of Jaiku on the client).
Let it be known that I love Jabber. I almost wrote a client for Jabber when I started university (in Java), but it ended up sourceforge abandonware like so many other people's projects. I even started using Pidgin on the laptop because it provides a moderately better Jabber experience than Trillian Pro (best UX but flaky on the protocol) or Pandion (warmed over UX). Optimally someone would put the Google client interface on libpurple (the protocol underpinnings of both Pidgin and Adium), but it's not been done yet.
The notable exception is Windows Live Messenger. Not got one of those. (I do have an Xbox Live account, though, so I almost do.)
Who's the most annoying person on TV?
Is this something I would need a tv to know about?
In 5 words or less, who are you?

Judging by my sidebar tagline, that would be...
The employedmost Perlmonger on planet.python.org.
Do you have Wii Play yet? What's your top score in Tanks/Fishing/Cow Racing?
No, I heard it was kinda lame, which is sad. Plus I haven't seen a copy anywhere I could pick it up on impulse (i.e., Frys). I don't really need the third wiimote, either, though the record shows it could come in handy occasionally with Super Swing Golf.
Doubtless I was amidst reeling from the whirlwind of activity that was getting a couch, finishing the Baroque Cycle, reading Battle Royale, finding music to debug to, and inventing breadblogging.
What were you doing one year ago today?

The only time I remember getting locked out of the apartment was when I was home alone making popcorn, and burned it, and I believe the smoke alarm went off and omg it's so loud what do i do i know i'll open the window then take it outside away from the detector yay!! Except the knob doesn't always unlock when you open the door to go out, only the bolt. It was a Saturday during office hours, though, so I just had to go sign their key out for a few minutes.
What's the story behind a time when you got locked out?
