"You know you've watched too much X Files when..."

[Raven Wolf]

In the spirit of "You know you've been watching too much Millennium when.... " I want to bring you THE X FILES  version!

I'll start if off with something that happened Thursday.

I was out with my boyfriend, Kalyan, and we went to a local lake.  We were sitting on the shore line, in front of some woods.  He turned around and half lay down in my lap, his head and shoulders against me, &  I wrapped my arms around him.  He glanced up and said, "You let me know if you get tired."  And, the scene from "Detour" popped in my head, and I simply replyed, "I'm not gonna get tired."

I told Scott this story and he thought of The X Files episode "Detour" even before I got to the part that Kalyan said!

So... any more X-OHOLICS out there?

Where do you start on something like this?  I couldn't possibly ever list everything.

When every time you pass a cornfield, you have to yell "Mulder!"  "Scull-ay!" repeatedly.  Sometimes, you even get out of the car so you can run alongside the field as you shout.

The one thing that makes you feel at home, no matter where you go?  The prescence of your Mulder and Scully poster.

You make countless XF word searches and trivia games.

You start your own X-Files newsletter.

You run an XF-associated website.

You draw XF logos, aliens, tiny character sketches, lyrics of Bree Sharp songs, etc., in the margins of your notes for classes and\or meetings.

You create backgrounds for your computer and\or edit pictures from the show, and then send them to everyone you know.

You have ever attempted to write a fanfiction based upon the show.

You have posted said fanfiction on at least one site\group.

Your Christmas list almost always includes at least one or two items from said show.

You transcribe episodes, interviews, song lyrics; anything associated with it.

You tape episodes every time they come on, as well as interviews with any actors who have ever been on the show, even if you don't like them.  And years later, when you rewatch it and think of how much you hate them and how useless keeping the tape is, you still can't bring yourself to get rid of it.

You think of the characters as real people... and sometimes even talk to them.

You use the show as life-lessons and relate them to things happening to you.  For instance, when in a biology class, you constantly remind yourself of Scully doing autopsies to get up the courage to do a dissection.

You still think of Luke Wilson as Sheriff Hartwell (or Fartwell, if you've seen the bloopers) from "Bad Blood".

You go to a SciFi convention and spend over $30 on three bootleg tapes of X-Files specials\bloopers (okay, $5 of it was a copy of TV Guide w\ Lance as Frank on the cover).

Your bookshelves are covered with schoolbooks and plays, but somehow snuck in there is an XF episode guide.  How did that get there?

You haven't seen a full episode of the show in about 2 years, but you're still as rabid about it as ever.  You can also still recite the episode name and season it was from within the first about 5 seconds of the teaser.

Shall I go on?  No, I think that's enough for now.  Plus, I think I'm starting to scare people...

LOL, Laura.

I have taped episodes of teh X-Files before (but I have taped over most of the ones I taped).  I have magazines with X-Files interviews, some issues of The X-Files magazines, I have read two X-Files novels, some issues of the comic book, and i have three X-Files books I got from the Bargain Book bins at Walden Books: two episode guides and the Science of the X-Files.    But I'm more of a Millennium fan with both Millennium novelizations, a member of this bbs (would i ever join an X-Files bbs?  I haven't yet), have all episodes on tape except that second season episode I hate (and taped over twice- the one with the dancing devil baby), wrote some Millennium FanFic, and even thought of writing an unofficial Millennium guide more than once.

Be Seeing You,

David Blackwell

Where do I go from here.....?

I called up an ex-lover last year when I found out there was gonna be an X-files auction on e-Bay, since that was before I was on-line, and gave him $250 to buy a plac from Brad Folmer's office... which was the only thing I could afford!

I've considered cutting my lawn in the shape of a Crop Circle, just to make people wonder....

I never pass a corn field without feeling the urge.

I've started taking bee pollin pills and breaking them open, so I can stir them into my Yogurt!

Somebody stop me!!!!

- when you make a special effort to post your 1013th post in the "You know you've been watching to many episodes of the X-Files when..." topic threat!

I dedicate this 1013th post to all of 1013's shows, casts, crews, characters, mytharcs, subplots, and in jokes.  May they be remembered of 1013 years!

You assign everyone in your family a case number

beginning with "X"

Everywhere you look, you see Billy Miles.

You see a pack of Marlboros..and YOU see Morleys.

You haven't dated anyone in nine years.

Your porn collection is larger than Mulder's.

Whatever building you're in, you end up in the

basement.

Here's some for ya!

1. You keep on answering your phone with "Mulder" or "Scully".

2. You stare at the clock when the time 11:21 rolls around.

Yeah... or you stare at the clock whenever 10:13 rolls around.

And, whenever a clock or watch breaks, you set it to 10:13 for eternity!

You wish you'd been born just ONE DAY EARLIER!  (You were born on November 22nd)

For years, you regretted breaking up with a guy who was born on 10-13!

(Man... I'm pathetic!)
