That sounds wonderful! I really enjoyed getting the little details of your life, too: losing it, writing your home room number in it, your sweet mom, and the fact that you still have it! Guess you learned your lesson. ;-)
Have you read Mercedes Lackey's "Last Herald Mage" trilogy? I love it for the fantasy, and even more for the fact that the lead character, the greatest wizard the world has ever known (fifteen when we start the series and in his forties at the end) is gay. And in the later books there's a relationship with a significant age difference such that I can't believe Lackey didn't take LOADS of shit from parents! ;-) I adore those books and can read them over and over but instead parcel them out to myself every three years or so.
