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.
