I didn't get into X-Files until university, but carawj, my BFF, has a very similar story to yours. I think you must even be our age, just about.
I don't have a lot of substance to add, just really enjoyed reading this, and think you're so right about how formative X-Files was for fandom as we know it today. :D
And hee, of course we all know that moment of connection when people want to talk about something in as much detail as we do. :D
