I am here for Friends

About Me

I am Skynes, I need no introduction. But since you asked so nicely:
I am a Christian and have been for 5 years. I came to know Christ through a series of 'coincidences', strangely enough I no longer believe in coincidence.
I don't like to blast people with a 'turn or burn' message. Yes it may be true, but their methods aren't very nice and I don't like them anymore than you do! This doesn't mean I don't take my Faith seriously, read my blogs for 2 minutes and you'll see I do! I just like to do things differently partly because I'm awkward, partly cause I'm made that way but mostly because I like to try to treat others the way I wish to be treated. I don't want anything shoved in my face, so I return the favour.
I like drawing and writing. It usually involves either Games I like or Game I want to make. I do want to do Game Design, I know it's not all pretty 'playing games all day' stuff, but I'm prepared for that (I think).
I love Christian Metal. I love Metal in general, but Christian Metal adds something that secular music cannot, the involvement of the Holy Spirit.
Also I like board games (chess), card games (knightmare chess, Magic the Gathering) and tabletop games (warhammer 40K). Other board games I've started playing are Thud and Frag. Getting my hands on Zombies and Doom soon too!..And now for something new and completely different! My regular readers know most of my blogs are more like Bible studies than an online journal. So it'd be nice if you were able to FIND them. So here it is, a nice list of ALL my blogs from Day One.
