About Me

My real name is Chris but out here in the web I mostly go by Captain Seawater. I like it because the letters CS are my real initials and one of my favorite YouTuber’s growing up was CaptainSparklez. My profile picture is of Chris, the villain from the What’s New Scooby-Doo episode Roller Ghoster Ride. Shaggy wins the gang free tickets to an amusement park after winning a roller coaster design contest. Chris and her sister Terry own, operate and design rides for the park together.

We share the same name and I like that she’s a bit of a tomboy. Both because I find the rebellion very attractive, but also just the idea of a tomboy in general. I like that it’s a concept that hasn’t changed much in a few hundred years. Thair’s an old ballad about Anne Bonney the pirate that goes “They dressed me as a tom”, her dad dressed her as a boy because he was embarrassed of her. In the modern sense it’s still used to define a girl who dresses and acts like a boy. More assertive, less dainty. Girls like that are awesome, at least to me anyway.

I live in the midwestern United States and have grown up in the state of Illinois my entire life. My childhood was defined by Windows XP and Vista, as well as the Nintendo Wii. Some of my favorite games include Mario Kart Wii, Mario Party 8, and flash games. I would spend hours on my family’s only computer playing Bloons Tower Defense, Commando 2, and Age of War. I also loved CD rom games. I’m going to blush a bit, but some of my favorites were Putt Putt Saves The Zoo, Freddie Fish and the Case of the Missing Conch Shell, Barbie Horse Riding Club (embarrassing, I know), and a game about Rapunzel trying to save her castle from an evil queen.

My family never really had that much growing up so many of my fondest memories are from spending time at other people's houses getting to play with all the toys I never had myself. This includes nerf guns, the Nintendo DS, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It also meant watching DVDs of movies and shows I never would have seen otherwise. Hogan's Heroes, Faulty Towers, Wishbone, and Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island.
