aloha, my name is gilmae. Well, actually, it isn’t but it is the one you’ll use. The name my parents gave me is exclusively for the use of my family and anyone who has a legal requirement to keep my identity for recording purposes – the government and banks and the like, neh?
Anyway, my name is gilmae. I live in Ingleburn, New South Wales, but I am really a Queenslander.
I’m really only telling you this, mind, because inevitably sometime in the future I will make a comment somewhere on the world wide web that will prompt someone to track me back here, trying to find out who I am. There is a not insignificant section of the online population that believe that using anything other than one’s birth certificate name delegitimises anything one has to say. That the use of pseudonyms is tantamount to intellectual dishonesty because the pseudonymous is presumed unwilling to stand by anything they say.
Pseudonymity is not anonymity, it is merely using a different label for one’s identity. So. If you have come here trying to determine if I am trying to hide from anything I have said under the names ‘gilmae’ or ‘avocadia’, I assure you I am a real person who stands by what I said. If you feel you need to verify my reality, there are about a million contact methods kept reasonably up to date at on my contact me node.
avocadia is the personal page of me. All opinions expressed within are valid in my reality.

Some You Had To Be There terms are used liberally throughout this blog without any in situ explanation. To assist the understanding of anyone who reads this page – which is to say no-one, an inexhaustive list is supplied below:
- D is my wife.
- tWM is the teenager we keep around the house for…something or other. Whatever it is, it sure ain’t taking out the garbage, that’s for damn sure!
- Cino is the diety I worship, the goddess of coffee. An associated in-references is green tea, which is clearest evidence of the hand of the Evil One in the world of humans.
