By Popular Demand

Alright! Alright! I'll bow to popular pressure this once and post some pics of me.
Sheesh...
Better enjoy now because it's not going to happen often.


Here I am all dressed up in sexy black velvet. If you haven't guessed by now, the guy next to me in this shot and my profile pic is my hubby.

Here I am in "anime mode". Don't I look cute in ponytails? 

My co-worker caught me unawares! I was getting into "anime mode" and didn't even have on my make-up yet! 

What It's All About - My Little Guy

The most recent picture of him. He'll be nine in July.

In this picture he's 6 years old. Quite the charmer.

He's four years old here. Adorable eh?

He's about 6 months old in this pic. I love that toothless grin.

Obsesssion, Addictions and Other Fun Stuff

If you know me at all you know that I have a few obsess....er....HOBBIES...yeah that's it.

1. I am a die-hard NY Yankees fan (http://www.yankees.com) and have been since Reggie hit those three homeruns in game six of the 1977 World Series. Let's go for number 27 guys!
2. I am a HUGE Joss Whedon fan. He is the creator of the TV shows, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Angel," and "Firefly." He's one I trust for quality TV which is rare in these days of crappy reality TV. There are a TON of Buffy websites but one of my favorites is: http://carnal-sins.net since I'm a spuffy kinda gal. And check Joss Whedon out at: http://www.whedonesque.com I also can't wait for the new Firefly movie "Serenity"! Firefly fans congregate here: http://www.browncoats.com
3. I am a Ares/Xena shipper. One of the best virtual seasons sites I've ever found is: http://www.roachsrealm.com/shipperseasons/
4. As noted before, I'm into gaming. I'm a long time player of Mozart MUD (http://mozartmud.com) and I've recently gotten into City of Heroes (http://www.coh.com) where I can be found on the Justice server. Aside from computer gaming I'll do tabletop as well and I'm currently in a Shadowrun game. Yeah, I'm weird...a girl who likes to game.

I have other hobbies and interests but those are the big ones for now. I'll post more later.

Evolution of the Lounge

First a little history about the story of my nickname and why this is called the Leisure Lounge.
Many eons ago, back when you were allowed three initials in the top score of a video game, I did not have three initials to use but I wanted to make full use of the three spaces provided so I used: LUK
A few years later in 1986 when I discovered chatting on Relay (the ancient BITnet version...none of that newfangled internet IRC stuff) I created the screen name Ladyluck. I had my own channel named "Ladyluck's Leisure Lounge" as a play on a popular game at the time "Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards"
A few years after that in the early 90s, I discovered MUDs. I became enamored of one mud in particular, Mozart MUD (http://mozartmud.com), where I worked my way to godhood and became Patron Goddess of Newbies. My virtual offices on the Mozart were named "Ladyluck's Leisure Lounge" as well because why mess with a classic? ;)
I now frequent the mmorpg "City of Heroes" (http://www.coh.com) where my global name is: Lady Luck
I haven't made a channel there yet but I felt I needed a Lounge on the net for my friends to stop by CoH or not. So here we are the full evolution of this site.

First Time - Be gentle with me

Welcome to the infamous Leisure Lounge!
Just a spot for my friends to hang out, relax and have fun.
So grab a pillow and a spot by the fireplace and enjoy.
Course I'll put up stuff related to my obsessions and other
interesting things I find in and around the internet.
Poke around all you want.
I'll chat with you later!
