For many reasons, I'll continue to support your foundation, as I promised.
Harvard I'm planning to visit as soon as possible, factors permitting.
Looking forward to February 29. High hopes!
I'm not really gone, in spirit, but... I can't handle more than looking once in a while now.
In the future
I want to laugh at the absurdity of all of this. Many things will begin to change when I have a new name. My condition and appearance, while a major factor together, have always been, from a fundamental perspective, secondary. On their own, they can only make so much possible. Can anyone relate?

Pleasure to meet you!
Call me Teddy, if you like.
I love you.
More or less
I actually have managed to finish some articles, believe it or not. Some of those I list below still have expansion tags in them but don't necessarily require additional content, or require content it is too difficult for me to find, or which I am not responsible for adding.
O'Donovan family. Before joining Wikipedia I and a few others worked on this article, but I am responsible for over 90% of the content in it today. I have asked a very distant cousin from Clanloughlin to help me with
Clan Loughlin and Ballymore but he hasn't yet, which I don't understand, especially because he's the one who runs the research company. In his defense the history of Clanloughlin, which is complicated, will be more difficult to write than for Clancahill. I don't have enough information.
Amlaíb Cenncairech. Finished. I could go on and on about his capture or recruitment and not say anything more.
O'Grady family. Relations of the modern O'Donovan lords, the O'Gradys are excellent people I am not responsible for discussing at length. This is up to them.
Ivar of Limerick. He could use two more sections, but the article is now finished enough to read like it. Contributions to two existing sections made by
User:Cavila and
User:Finnrind.
Éile. Respectable. Much more could be written but I am not responsible for it. These are not family.
Colonial families of Maryland. Some of
Lady Gaga's ancestors were colonial Marylanders, but were adventuring small farmers who left after a few generations. They probably had some distant aristocratic origins, but not enough money to thrive in Maryland.
Carroll family. Needs more but the family or relations are responsible for that, not I. I did go to the trouble of uploading their arms for them.
Flaith. Close enough to finished for Wikipedia. I see no need for an extended linguistic discussion. And screw the footnotes for an article of this type. The
DIL does the job.
Dáire. As finished as I want it to be. This is actually the start of a paper I hope to have finished and published in the future. To go on would seriously violate
WP:OR anyway.
