Idle thoughts on an idle afternoon

Would anybody be willing to share some demongraphic info? (Typo
deliberate, thank you very much). I'm curious as to who reads and posts
to these ngs. So far I have gleaned that there are several teen types,
college types and at least one elementary school teacher (admirable).
Also that Gizzie has something to do with salami. Would you divulge your
occupation to the rest of us (let's be nice, people, no razzing or
tongue-sticking-outing)? We all have to make a living somehow. I'll go
first, I'm a dentist. (see why I asked for no razzing?)

Anyway, I'm a program director for a Fox affiliate. And while I've met many
stars and producers, no, I have not met anyone even remotely related to the
show, *except* for the fact that my best friend is friends with Sarah Charno
(sp?) who has written a number of eps and Stu (who played the killer bellboy
in Clyde Bruckman).

I'm not going to talk about Gizzie and salami, not in the same sentence
anyway...
I'm a paralegal for a civil rights law firm; not as lucrative as working
for a big corporate defense firm, but better karma overall. At least I
can have pictures of GA taped to my terminal (next to the
rubber walrus with the cockroach on its back, just in front of the
framed Krazy Kat postage stamp...)

You too! No I'm not studying to be a veterenarian but the latter seems
fun! Actually I'd like to work for the NSA.... no seriously..... well
maybe.... Also on Saturday's I enjoy running around in black clothes with
combat shotguns and hunt aliens... no not the illeagal kind... Better stop...

Okay, I'll play....
I'm the elementary school teacher (or at least one of them, anyway,
and thanks for the compliment! :). I teach 4th graders, most of whom
are a little young for the show, but they're usually growing out of
Goosebumps as the year progresses.
It's also fun to make comments like, "Okay, will one of you please
explain to me why you can multiply decimals just fine on the board,
and explain every single step to me, but you can't do 8 out of 10
problems correctly on a homework assignment? No? That's it, then,
I'm calling Mulder and Scully, 'cause this has got to be an X-File!"

If you're a dentist, why are you having an idle afternoon? Where are
all you patients? And what about your staff-did you give them the
afternoon off WITH pay? You ought to, you know, they probably deserve
it.
To answer your question, I'm a day care provider (babysitter),
standardized test administrator and I work part time in a DENTIST'S
OFFICE (actually an orthodontist) BK (before kids) I worked there
full time. And WE sometimes got the afternoon off WITH pay!

Ok ... I'm a writer -- so far I've published five books of poetry plus
two self-published chapbooks, and one book of essays, as well as some
freelance journalism in various fields (which brings in more money
than the poetry for sure). I used to edit collections of short stories
which was a large part of my income, but the publisher I was doing it
for ran out of money (this is happening a lot in Ontario right now,
BAD provincial government). I run a very small publishing company of
my own, Lowlife Publishing, and put out little poetry chapbooks and
intermittent issues of a literary zine called CRASH.
Also, I am a long-time peace/human rights activist and have had
various jobs in this field, some paid and some unpaid. Used to edit a
monthly peace newspaper, then I was the organising secretary for the
British Coalition for East Timor. I'm more part-timey in my political
work at the moment due to having a seven-and-a-half months old
daughter, but right now I'm trying to get a solidarity group for human
rights in Indonesia going in Canada. Also I'm a member of the council
of War Resisters' International (WRI) and the convener of WRI's
women's working group.
The latter group of occupations may have more to do with why I like
the X-Files. Certainly it's in part because I deal with evil
government activities on a regular basis, also cause I'm more or less
an anarchist and the X-Files is a pretty anarchist-leaning, or at
least anarchist-friendly, show.
And I have way too many friends who are way too much like the Lone
Gunmen.
I am hoping my sister (hear that, Kate?) will answer this too, cause I
suppose she's the only art conservator (sorry, art conservation
scientist -- did I get it right?) lurking in this conference.

I'm a second year graduate student in speech communication. As the
summer comes to a close, I find myself wading into another semester.
I'll be continuing my work assigment, a longitudinal study of computer
usage among undergraduates at my university, and preparing my thesis.
Inter-generational communication between baby-boomers and the 13th
generation: aka de-bunking that rubbish about "baby boomers are
self-serving yuppies" and " gen x'ers are a bunch of slackers." Its all
a concotion of the popular media. Empirical methodology, yada yada yada.

Thank you so much for all the info-not to be used in any way (re:Clare).
As I said it was an idle afternoon. We don't work on Fri. PM unless there
is an emergency, and I don't play golf. The question was asked because I
had a gut feeling that most of the viewers of the much discussed program
are high-level and include many intelligent and/or professional people.
(Before I am accused of being elitist, a profession can include "salami
slicers"! Gizzie is among the most readable of the posters here.) I am
also pleased to see many creative people included. It is rare that one
television show can attract such a diverse audience. Perhaps this could
send a message to the movers and shakers of the X Files who the philes
are, if they weren't already aware. Thank you again, and anyone who wants
to join in with their calling (or callings, how do you find time to have
more than one job!).
With admiration for the variety of the people on this ng.

I start a BSc course in Computer Science in October.
I E-Mailed the FBI to ask about my employment chances, they told me to
call into the nearest field office. I live in England, the nearest field
office is about 3,000 miles away. Maybe it's an ingenuity test?

downsizing-rightsizing whatever. Maybe I'll have more time for XF and

Your Name Here
I'm 25, and I'm a circulation manager for a medical journal published by the
Mayo Clinic. In other words, a glorified secretary. So far, this has been one
of the funnest posts since I discovered this ng four months ago. I never knew
this group was so diverse!

I'm 28 yrs old, with an un-used B.F.A. in art education. What I *do* now
has very little to do with who I *am* - I'm working as an "office
specialist". It's mostly about holding the hands of freshmen who are
having problems enrolling in Geology 101. It's not all bad though,
because I am currently using my Mac computer & art skills to design an
relational database for the office I work in. In my real life, I'm
addicted to thrift shopping, reading and seeing garage-punk bands.

Oh, okay, I'll add my $0.02 to this. I'm a currently unemployed PhD in
geology.
Do I detect a trend here? I've seen several unemployeds come clean.
Maybe the reason we're here is we have too much time on our hands?
(Actually, I'd be here anyway!)

In my "day job" I supervise the media relations group for an
advertising/public relations agency specializing in high tech. Part of
that job includes media relations strategy, plus the more boring tactical
stuff. (Anyone with 2-6 years public relations experience need a job in
Dallas? I'm hiring now. E-mail me.)
In my "night job" I write novels, mostly romance for Harlequin/Silhouette
but I'm also working on a fantasy novel. My next book will be in stores
starting around Sept. 16. My pen name is Samantha Carter (yes, it's a
deliberate X-F reference) and the title of the novel is "Dateless in
Dallas." Buy lots of copies. :-)

Twenty-six year old Senior Secretary to the Director of Composition in
the English Department at the University of Missouri-Columbia. (Sounds
much loftier than it actually is.) I also write movie reviews for a new
magazine and do freelance proofreading and editing. I've only been
watching The X-Files since about a quarter of the way through season
three, but am completely hooked, and am also a card-carrying member of
the COG. :)

Hello Dr. A, and all our phellow philes. I'm halfway through an MSc. in
Bio, working in an adenovirus lab. I have to find a PhD placement soon, if
I'm going to remain a perpetual student. I'm not looking forward to
September, because then on top of the lab work, I'll have to take a course
and TA the undergrad labs and mark labs and quizzes (any highschool
graduates out there planning to go to McMaster and who have Bio 1A06 down
as one of their courses?)

Well. I'm a 23 year old computer programmer who is waiting patiently
to go back to school in the fall (more programming). Currently, I am
working on a few shareware/freeware programs (no x-files themes
though. Any ideas?).
I had no need for the Internet in the past, now I can't get enought of
it. Almost like my instant attraction to X-Files (been with it since
day one).

I'm an employee of the Agriculture Department. Mid 40ish, married, F,

I'm a writer. By day I write technical documentation and web documents
for a Silicon Valley startup firm working on the development of network
storage systems. Then I go home and write stuff by, to, for, and about
The X-Files for which I am paid in Hell Money. I won't bore you with the
details. I'm the same age as David Duchovny but I'm even shorter than
Gillian Anderson. I'm married to a guy who works with cloning technology,
which has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that our daughters look a
lot alike. Absolutely nothing. I swear. And the fact that they're both
named Eve is sheer coincidence.
This is one of the most interesting threads I've read all summer. Thank
you for starting it. I had no idea Gizzie worked with baloney. :)

I graduated with a BA in Anthropology a few years ago (ok, four years ago)

grad school eventually. In the meantime I'm working in the Interlibrary Loan

I was curious what this topic was with 25!!! responses. I couldn't
resist. So here i am. I am a 25 year college grad BA in English with a
specialization in Writing. My husband the same though 31. And he is an
editor while I count the beans as the Manager of Accounting. We love the
X files among other science fiction creations such as the mini-series V
and Star Trek the Next Generation. Oddly, he enjoy the Kolchek series
during its short lifespan. I enjoy the old Twilight Zones and have
gathered the pennies to purchase the laserdisc box sets as well as the
Japanese Imports of the first 2 seasons of the X files. So that's us.

This thread reminds me of one Friday evening last spring, about 8:40...
While grocery shopping I stopped to say hello to a former student in the
freshman bio lab I taught, I think he was about 18, and then realized the
time. I said I had to get home in time for the X Files, and he said, "oh
yeah, me too, I never miss that show", and a little gray-haired lady
(definately over 50) turned around from the cereal and said, "oh, is it a
new episode tonight?"
I just thought that illustrated the wide appeal of the X Files...

It's kinda funny... I passed over this thread expecting lame
responses. After reading it tonight, I'm seeing a professional crowd
more than anything. I half expected a lot of kids on summer break.
Blows me away the wide range of personalities that have "Friday

nothing like I expected... someone should analyze.. what we need is a

and am from California.
I must make one quike observation...This newsgroup is actually full
of intelligent people...it's a nice change for me. given, I wasn't
expecting much intelligence in alt.sex.pictures.

Well I'm just your ordinary high-school student, but I do have another question,
as long as we're into honesty, what countries are people around here from? I'm from
Israel, and while it's obvious from the amount of against/for the move to Sunday that
most of the posters here are from the states, there's got to be someone here who is from
somewhere else on the planet.

During the day I'm an engineering manager - no honestly, that's what I do. At
night I timeshare between X-Files obessive behaviour (mostly in fanfic land)
and playing house with my husband. And I used to have a life but I decided it

Hi all,
I'm a 32 year old who lives in Boulder, CO working for a document
management software company. I give travel around giving technical
presentations and demonstrations. And yes, I have even managed to work The
X-Files into my demo - just log on as D_SCULLY to check in the latest
autopsy report on a genetic mutant. Always good for a big laugh.

I am terrified of computers but hooked on this group. I have been
"afflicted" by the XFILES mania since the summer between season 1 and 2.
It was that episode where a little girl was avenging the death of this
policeman who was framed. The first scene I saw (I'll never forget it)
... A bus stops, a man gets on... wind blows... his scarf gets caught
on the door... the bus moves... camera focuses on this angelic little girls'
face... It was the scariest thing I'd ever seen... Of course, I was hooked.
I could not remember what I had for breakfast or where I parked my car,
but I could tell you about every episode of the XFILES, cast, writers, etc.
What's wrong with this picture?

the Production Manager for the Fox Tv Station in this area(Northern
California) and I make commercials. Pretty much one of the main main
perks and one of the reasons I took this job is all the cool tv shows Fox (X
Files of course)has (Er had, Space Above and Beyond) and all the cool X
files paraphanalia I get. and of course the GA publicity photos. Cool huh.

I was fascinated to find that the great majority of people following this
thread are older (mid-20's to 30's) and professional (lots of advanced
degrees and fancy jobs). I wonder if this is true of the X Files
demographics in general, or just lots of lonely hearts hoping to meet
somebody?

saw was the one with the little green-glowing bug things come out of
the trees in the old-growth forest and attack Scully.

Catherine J. Blatz
OK, my turn...
(And I must add, first, that I too am REALLY enjoying this thread...)
I'm 22 (almost), just graduated this past May from college, where I was
an English major. Still living at home for now (slacker!) but working
two jobs (OK, not quite so slackerish). Job #1 is in a bookstore where
I spend a lot of time looking up "kw = files" in the Books in Print
computer. :) Job #2 is as an editorial assistant at a magazine. (Lots
of editing - whoo-hoo!) I am unhealthily interested in grammar and I
am a bookworm. Next up will be grad school, as soon as I've saved a
little money (hopefully a year from now). The fact that I won't be
going back to college in the fall has not yet sunk in. Eventually I
hope to have a career in publishing (unless, of course, I happen to
sell a novel first :) )
First X-Files ep I watched was "Darkness Falls," on BBC2 when I was in
Ireland (where I lived for a year). I was creeped out and intrigued.
Between BBC2 and Sky One I managed to catch a fair amount of the first
and second seasons. I fell into full-tilt obsession on St. Patrick's
Day, 1995, after the parade in downtown Galway, when I bought a Shivers
magazine from the newsagent's and found myself drooling uncontrollably
over David Duchovny. I waited in happy anticipation for the next episode
the following Tuesday, which was "Duane Barry." (Ah, Speedo...) After
shrieking in anguish at the realization that it was a cliffhanger, I
calmed down and patiently pined for the *next* Tuesday. When 8:00
finally rolled around, I plunked myself in front of the TV...only to
find Sky One broadcasting nothing but static. I watched static for a
full hour in the hopes that it would turn into something else, then
launched into an extremely loud and undignified tantrum. (Sky did return
in time for Models Inc. AAARRGGGHH!!!) For the next two weeks I was on
a train going across Europe (poor me ;) ) and when I got back, Sky was
up to "Firewalker." I went nuts when Mulder and Scully kept talking
mysteriously about the big Thing That Had Happened. Luckily, when I got
home to the States, Fox was nice enough to rebroadcast "Duane Barry"
through "One Breath." Thank you, Fox, thank you, thank you. :) :) My
favorite ep is "One Breath," followed closely by "Beyond the Sea" and
"Irresistible." This year I've really loved "Pusher," "Quagmire,"
"Syzygy" (sorry!) and all the DM eps. I prefer the Scully ones to the
Mulder ones, only because I feel that Scully is severely underdeveloped.
(As a CHARACTER, OK? Yeah, I know what you were thinking. Just stop
that right now.) My favorite DD moments are "Who's the guy in the fur
shorts?" and "Indeed" from the '95 Emmys. (I just love him when he's
so bored he looks as if he'd rather be dead...) My favorite GA moments
are "Splooging boils" and the entire SAG speech.
I haven't been posting too much lately because I have been stuck
with AOL since I graduated...but I've had a chance to get to know
Netcom recently, and I gotta say, it's pretty good. ;) My hobbies
include reading, writing, music (Irish is my favorite), and collecting
name dictionaries. I watch The X-Files obsessively, The Simpsons
reguarly, and ER semi-regularly. I also watch Letterman, when I can
stay awake that late (man, work is a bummer!) and I like him unless
he has someone on that I care about seeing (e.g., DD or GA). In my
next life I humbly request to be reincarnated as Darin Morgan. ;)
I like luncheon meat. Mmm, luncheon meat. :)
As usual, I've gone on much longer than I intended to. Sorry.
Nice to meet you all.

I am starting my first year at Notre Dame Law in a week and a half. I just graduated from the University

what the more vocal philes do for a living. Look at me, de-lurking for a second time. I just hope my

Quite an enjoyable thread! I'm a Special Ed teacher at a middle school in
Ashland Or. I've lived here for 22 years after fleeing south florida. I'm
39, not married but living with a nurse and her 2 children, 2 dogs, 2 cats
and a cockatiel(sp?) who is learning to whistle the x-files theme. We've
been hooked for just this last year and are trying to get as many old
episodes to view as we can. Besides the Simpsons I don't watch any other
tv show's. Interests are: Homebrewing, mountain hiking/ biking, writing,
reading and computers and plate techtonics.
