'''2005''' is the year where [[Chris]] turned 23 years old. It was, in retrospect, Chris's most productive year, largely due to the amount of free time he received upon being expelled from [[Piedmont Virginia Community College|his college]]. He drew four issues of the [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'' comic]], and put much emphasis and effort into his [[Love Quest]].


Because of his expulsion from [[PVCC]], Chris had a lot of free time on his hands, allowing him to put much more effort into his [[love quest]]. June and July were tumultuous, characterized by a series of fights between Christian and the local authorities. These clashes resulting in a trial, and, according to Chris, severe traumatic scarring.
