FIRST 2011 QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Happy New Year, originally uploaded by Calsidyrose.

Peppermint Patty: It's been a great year, Chuck. You'll have to admit that. What you do think, Chuck, would be good rules for living in the New Year?

Charlie Brown: Keep the ball low, don’t leave your crayons in the sun, use dental floss every day, don’t spill the shoe polish, always knock before entering, don’t let the ants get in the sugar, never volunteer to be a program chairman, always get your first serve in, and feed your dog whenever he’s hungry.

Peppermint Patty: Will those rules give me a better life, Chuck?

Charlie Brown: The better life and a fat dog.

-CHARLIE BROWN

How did you ring in the New Year? At a party? At home watching the Jersey Shore cast on MTV or Dick Clark do the Times Square countdown? Regardless of where you were, I am sure that you were wondering about the possibilities of 2011. I know I was--and still am.

The opportunities to start something new for the future with the foundations of the past are both thrilling and daunting. One thing I definitely know is that the second year of Girls in the Hall will be a great new chapter where we will continue to bring you our thoughts--and yours--on being a teen, being yourself, and making it through high school. Oh, and we will be sure to not leave our crayons in the sun along the way.
