About Corinna

april-07-413.jpgVancouver Blogger Corinna Carlson aka Gus Greeper, has had this blog on the internet since early 2005.

I live in a small down town, West End, apartment with Adam Bradley Carlson my husband also known as ABC IV and Gus my Cat. Gus was the runt of the liter and was born in 1994, she is also a girl, balls never dropped and the name had already stuck. Adam is the eldest of his siblings and is two years and fifty three days younger than me, he is also a guest poster on Gus Greeper. I am a left handed only child born in 1977, although I have lived in Vancouver since 1996, I spent my adolescent years in Northern B.C. but was born in Ontario and therefore am a die hard Leafs fan.

The site got its name from my love of singing badly which normally also includes incorrect lyrics. While on the way to the golf course one day I was busting it out hard singing Blue Oyster Cult’s Don’t Fear the Reaper except I made up my own lyrics which included the new word, ‘Greeper’ and it became a nickname for the cat and hence gusgreeper.com was born.

SOME things you will find on Gus Greeper that may be of interest to you:

Run on sentences,

Blatant disregard for punctuation and grammar,

A lot of talk about golf and how awesome golf is and lots of pictures of us golfing and enjoying everything golf,

**When I was moved to WordPress there was no way to save the comments on my old posts and all of my categories randomized, and there is random questions marks and other stuff scattered throughout the archives the old software I was using was crap, but it still sucks for new and old readers, I am slowly working on fixing the categories to match the archives but it is a bigger job than I thought.

Gus Greeper would not be possible without David from Chindogu for his on going help in general with ‘Corinna and her Computer’, and thank you very much to Jenn of mater facit for the ridiculously awesome header**
