The University of Virginia, founded by Thomas Jefferson himself in Charlottesville, Virginia, has been declared a World Heritage Site and is a famous example of neoclassical architecture, in addition to being consistently regarded as one of the best universities in the United States of America.
All this, however, cannot save it from the unfortunate fame of being one of Chris's prime attraction locations.
Chris would spend time in the Alderman Library, playing his DS in the café, in hopes of attracting a boyfriend-free girl to be his sweetheart. According to a local Something Awful goon named vikivil, Chris would also leave some business cards behind in the library with the address to his Sonichu site printed on them. It can be reasonably assumed that these cards might have been one of the early seeds to his later Internet infamy.
Chris alludes to "the campus" in his 22 May 2009 video, suggesting that he may return to UVA as an attraction location for his Love Quest.
Sonichu on UVA
In Sonichu's News Dash #5, "Sonichu" (read: Chris) did a review of the UVA Library:
| After hanging at Fashion Square and PVCC, Sonichu, the Electric-Hedgehog Pokemon, decided to give the University of Virginia a try. He found the campus grounds serene and peaceful with its history, scenery and plenty of grass to rest on. He found himself educated within the libraries’ many books, and made like he was in Paris with the outdoor tables and chairs. And the “Corner” stores had an interesting selection of items from pencil sets to DVDs. He gave the UVA 5/5 Lightning Bolts of approval. Thank you UVA, for a very peaceful place to chill at in the city of Charlottesville. |
UVA student on Chris
| So Sonichu returned to Alderman today. I am not sure what to make of him. He sits in his chair and draws his sonichu comics, harmless, i assme. Yet, I feel like he knows he's different. He knows that the world rushing in front of him is not his own. Surrounded by the "brightest" students in America, whatever that means, he sits in his chair and draws. 23 years old. I'm not sure he even graduated high school. In front of him texts of Plato, Faulkner, God, and Kleist swirl. Does he have the capacity to understand these works? Whether he can or not, I am not sure, but their is something in his eyes that realizes that there is a level of understanding and thought that he is unable to partake in. As he slumps lower and lower in his chair with each student he eyes reading or holding a book, he falls into himself- into the markers and colors on the page in front of him. (coffee idea) He seems intelligent enough to understand that he does not understand, and that is the hardest part of all.[1] |
Fake number
On 12 March 2009, Chris talked to seven girls at Alderman Library. One of them gave him a number. "But unfortunately it was a fake... but unfortunately it was a bad number" because it was out of service. Chris was emotionally prepared for that though, since he had watched an episode of Seinfeld where Elaine gives fake numbers to guys and a funny situation resulted with her wanting a free sub.[2]
