Here we go

I have been wanting to write an online journal (or blog as it now seems to be called) for some time but, as usual, I have procrastinated...probably because that is what I do best. (It has always seemed much more enjoyable to me to savor the frenzied delirium of a last minute rush...rather than plodding along bit by tiresome bit --What silliness that is, considering the fact that the accumulated damage to one's nervous system all evens out in the end when you factor in the mind-numbing tedium of doing things orderly and properly.)

Anyway, I've named this place Southern Belle in Exile since that is always the manner in which I have regarded myself during those times that I've lived away from home.
