Welcome to Chicken Soup for the X-Phile's Soul. This mini site is dedicated to the stories and experiences that us X-Philes have had in the past seven years. Chicken Soup for the X-Phile's Soul also displays quite a few inspirational isms, quotes, and other stuff from the characters, actors, and crew of The X-Files. If you have any intresting little excursions or X-File-ish experiences, or suggestions, please e-mail us! This section is brand spankin-new, so of course it's still a bit small. That will soon change - but we need your help! Send us your stories!!
This is a project Kelsie and I came up with one day eating lunch. Kelsie bought this "Chicken" Pita, which looked like the school tuna (chuna?), which looks like gremlin barf (poor Kelsie...$1.50 down the drain). So after it kinda melted in the hot Miami sun for almost half an hour, it looked like soup. And we were talking about The X-Files. And my other friend had her Teenage Soul book. Then I had my epiphany! Chicken Soup for the X-Phile's Soul! Cool beans, huh? Yup, so that's how this came about! Anyhoo, enjoy, and come back again soon!
Chicken Soup for the X-Phile's Soul began between two friends -- the two of us. For nearly seven years we have been sharing astounding stories of obsession, inspiration, and devotion in through websites, chats, and conventions. Stories about people making coming together to share one another's passion and commitment to the number one show – The X-Files. Searching for the truth. Trusting no one. Denying everything!
We've witnessed the power of this amazing show. Every Sunday evening, we watch faces light up with bright smiles. Eyes open and glisten in wonder and awe. Today, we set our goal on collecting and sharing our stories with the X-Phile community. Thus begins our story...
Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee...but they're gone too fast, and the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is an empty box filled with useless, brown paper wrappers. ~ * ~
