Chris, in trouble with the Jerkops.
On 17 June 2005, Chris went to the Mid Atlantic Animé convention.
On 20 July 2005, Chris was arrested for loitering at his local Target.
On 5 November 2005, Chris gets his first e-mail from Megan.
The year 2005 was, in retrospective, Christian's most productive year, resulting in him drawing 4 issues of the Sonichu comic.
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.
In 2005 Christian also gained two of his most renowned friends, Anna McLerran and Megan Schroeder. The first, a Mormon Pac Sun employee, Chris met while pacing the mall on his love quest. The second, an insecure female otaku, he met playing Yu-gi-oh! at his local game store.
