Piedmont Virginia Community College
- For other uses of "PVCC", see the disambiguation page.
Piedmont Virginia Community College is Chris's collegiate alma mater, a community college located in Charlottesville, Virginia. At PVCC, Chris earned an Applied Science Associate's Degree in Computer-Aided Drafting and Design. After five years of study, Chris earned his degree; astute observers will note that associates' degrees usually take students two years in the U.S. He also made the Dean's List, or so he claims.[1]
In the Sonichu comics, PVCC is the realm of the evil witch Mary Lee Walsh. In real life, Walsh, in her role as Dean of Student Affairs, gave Chris a hard time on his Love Quest and at points shattered his heart, lowering his level to nearly zero. Chris took revenge in his own inimitable fashion, making her into a character in his comics: the evil witch in command of a villainous group known as the Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens.
Chris began classes in PVCC in September 2000. For reasons unknown, even to Chris, he originally chose "Marketing" as his major. Or, more likely, his father chose it for him. Bob quickly transferred Chris to the CADD course, as this was in the days before he had completely given up on the idea that his son would become a functioning adult.[2]
Kicked out of English
Chris's first great PVCC trauma occurred when he was kicked out of an English class on his birthday.
Chris at one point claimed that his class was reading Wednesday's Child, a story about an autistic girl who brutally murders people.[3] Chris said that he told his male professor that by golly, he was autistic too! This allegedly resulted in Chris's ejection from that class on 24 February 2003, Chris's twenty-first birthday. According to Chris, the reason was the professor's misunderstanding and fear of autism. Chris cried and later passed the course when he retook it with a female professor.
Of course, there is more to this story than Chris lets on. In conversations with his gal-pals years afterward, Chris admitted that the topic of homosexuality had come up in a group discussion in class. Chris made a derogatory and inappropriate comment (in his words, he emitted "exclamations you'd likely hear from a black person in church"), and was promptly told to leave.[4]
After being kicked out, Chris sat at a table by himself and cried. As well as reinforcing Chris's hatred of men, this event also inspired Chris to begin his Love Quest.[5]
Kicked out of college
By mid-October 2003, Chris was already well into his Love Quest, his Attraction Sign at the ready for a full two months before falling prey to Mary Lee Walsh, who assumed he was whoring himself out. Allegedly, she then yelled at him in "a very violent manner" and harshly criticized his methods. Undeterred, Chris made a new sign, which Walsh also took down. Chris, his wrath now heightened, spammed the college with copies of Sonichu's News Dash!, in turn incurring a stern lecture from Walsh, who for her troubles founf herself on the receiving end of a loud Curse-ye-ha-me-ha. He was then banned from the premises for a year, mandated (by Walsh) to take an anger management course, and forced to see a shrink.[6] Thus, we have the autism papers.
Graduation
After spending five years on a degree that normally takes only two, Chris graduated with an associate's degree in Applied Science and a CADD certificate. Chris has repeatedly and falsely claimed to have two degrees.[7][8][9][10][11]
Compared to his high school graduation, he didn't seem to give a fuck. Notably, Chris wore not only his Sonichu medallion, but his gown, tassel, and honor roll sash from high school to his college graduation.
Such is his disdain for college, he's wearing the medallion and the same shirt of fail he draws himself in.
His CADD certificate. Chris insists this is a degree, but the Commonwealth of Virginia begs to differ.
"Student featured in Nintendo Power."
PVCC as viewed by Chris
Christian Weston Chandler refers to Piedmont Virginia Community College as the Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens (abbreviated PVCCitizens; or, on one occasion, as Piedmont Virginity College[12]) due to the grudge he holds against the college. Within the context of his Sonichu comics, Christian has characterized the Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens as the headquarters for the activities of the villains of CWCville.
As you can imagine, when the troll message boards were created, it just had to be christened with this name.
