ok so like we suck and haven't kept this up to date. so i *begin* writing 2001's timeline at the end of October. Oy! Just for fun, i'm going to leave everything in black that comes out of my memory, and put things in blue that i had to go back and look up or put in at a later date, that way, you'll know which things were the most memorable.
