Wow. That's some story. I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to share it.
I've shared it hundreds of times at A.A. meetings, including at "public awareness meetings" which are open to the general public. My old A.A. sponsor taught me an invaluable lesson; "you are as sick as your secrets." My life is, as far as it can be, an open book. Naturally there are certain things in my life that would harm others, and myself for no worthwhile purpose, if I repeated them publicly.
That is really wise. I have a ton of secrets. No real reason why, I just like it that way. None of it is going to screw me over, but I don't know ... just force of habit. Maybe one day I'll have the courage you have.

1. I still have one baby tooth left. It never came out because the adult one is still stuck up there pointed the wrong way. My aunt has the same problem with the exact same tooth.
2. I hate pickles. Nothing ruins a hamburger more for me than pickles.
3. I was homeschooled k-12.
4. Ages 13 to 22 I didn't have any close friends in real life. I am not exaggerating. I made all my friends on the internet via Twitter, Facebook, IRC, forums like this, etc. Now I'm meeting some people finally.
5. I love fruitcake. Why do people hate it so much?!
6. If I wasn't a musician, I would study user interface design. The mixture of art and utility in UI design is so fascinating to me.

Because fruit doesn't belong in an oven?
Hasn't stopped me from enjoying Capote's A Christmas Memory, though.

I am absolutely ADDICTED to fruit cake. If you aren't an Aussie or a Pommy, I wonder though if we are comparing apples with apples. Are you talking fruitcake similar to this

I love debating politics.
I dislike both the political right & left.
I also enjoy playing D&D.
I would make a list of all my fetishes but that would probably get me banned & there are just too many.

That looks precisely like what we call fruitcake.
Have all you want. I'll have the pie.

I don't like nuts in things. Otherwise, I'd enjoy fruitcake.

At I am eating a big slab of it at present and I have 2 @ 1kg (2 @ 2.2lb) cakes in reserve in the pantry. I also have 3 @ 1kg puddings (a lot like fruit cake) left over from Xmas. YUM YUM!!
