Your record collection is defined to 241 different Roxette-albums and one “Best of the Disneys” which your mother bought when you was 4 years old… (Ulrika)

There are no need for wallpapers in your room because every cm of the walls are covered by pictures of two good-looking Swedes… (Ulrika)

You speak flowing Swedish even though you have lived all your life in Germany.. (Ulrika)

You wake up in the middle of the night scared to death because one of those f***ing posters fell down from the wall with a loud CRASH!! (Ulrika)

All your friends sigh deeply as soon as you mentions Roxette. (Ulrika)

All your pets have Rox-names. (Ulrika)

You finds the Barbiedoll which you tried to cut like Marie when you was 8 years old.. (Ulrika)

You got all the Roxette music notes even though you either can play any instruments or sing a tune… (Ulrika)

You almost starts to cramp when thinking of meeting THEM (Ulrika)

The only reason you went to the English lessons at school was that you wanted to be able to read everything about Roxette in the foreign magazines you bought.. (Ulrika)

You have bought hundreds of expensive imported German pop-magazines even though you don´t speak a word of the language, only because of the Roxette-articles.. (Ulrika)

You can tell all the lines before they are actually told when you watch your old Roxettevideo-recordings (Ulrika)

You have travelled all over the world, slept at strange places and spent thousands of dollars on Roxette, but you can´t see your friends point when saying you´re out of your mind.. (Ulrika)

You have spent hours and hours freezing or sweating to death, sitting on some old magazine, outside the entrance to all the different concert arenas in every thinkable weather. Rain, snow, storm or sunshine, it doesn´t matter because nothing can make you leave. (Ulrika)

And worst of all, you wouldn´t hesitate to do it again. (Ulrika)

You drive to IKEA just to eat Köttbullar (Criz)

You are happier than Non-Roxette-fans (Criz)

You recognize a Roxette song even if it’s played very very very silent (on radio or thru headphones in a CD-shop) (Criz)

Blue-yellow are your fave colours (Criz)

You wake up in the morning and realize that you have talked swedish in your dream (Criz)

You think it’s funny to see a car from Halmstad in your hometown...and you really wish to creep into the trunk (Criz)

You suddenly realise that you have second sight cause you had the feeling that Per was in Barcelona to watch Formula One before you read it on Aftonbladet....(Criz)

You buy the *censored* Greatest Hits albums and Non- B-sided singles (AbbaLe)

You go to Night Of The Proms although you hate the sort of public which comes there every year again and again and again....... (Japeke)

You let your friends put all your CD’s (not at the same time) in your cd-player, except your roxette-cd’s, they have to ask you for that! (Japeke)

You get phoned by 3 people at the same time, that there is a rox-song on the radio (which is very seldom in Netherlands) (Japeke)

Per Gessles calls you up, to ask if he can meet you, because he is fan of his biggest fan! (Japeke)

You keep on mailing and calling EMI Netherlands for more promotion of the new album, while you know they wouldn’t ever do that! (Japeke)

You are wasting time, waiting and thinking about the crush on you remixes and how cool the video of the single would have been! (erweetiran)

I wonder if those fans who post those are still fans.

Saku said on December 29, 2005 14:48:

yeah, deffinitely. my friends are a bit fed up with me talking about this and that song, and some live versions which are the ones i love the most, cos they make me wanna b there screaming too!! it’s gripping, really. the fact is that my brother doesn’t like roxette, so i have to wear earphones, what makes my mother shout at me cos maybe she’s been calling me to dinner for 2 hours n i was too deaf to listen to her hahahaha...

This one rings true...

You finds the Barbiedoll which you tried to cut like Marie when you was 8 years old..

Okay so I was not 8 years old.... more like 13 / 14 but still!

... you move into your first apartment and the first thing you put on your living room wall is a Roxette poster!

FirstGirlOnTheMoon said on January 3, 2006 11:15:

... at the end of FLAF you expect to listen to Knockin’ on every door, so much that you can actually hear the intro in your mind. Only to be disappointed when you remember that you are listening to the radio! :)

... You walk along P’s or M’s home street as often as you can just in case he’d be there
... You’ve never been to Halmstad, but it’s nevertheless you’re favourite town.
... You send greetings to M&P on every holiday and their birthdays.
... You can ’listen’ to the albums just by playing the songs in your head.
... You know the birthdays of M&P:s spouses and children...
...and send them greetings as well.
...If you got one wish, you’d rather meet Roxette than get world peace

... At the end of Dressed For Success, you clap your hands like Marie does in the video.

... You can predict when a Roxette song is going to come on the radio... and you are RIGHT!

... One of your friends wants to know something about Roxette and they have to ask the expert. That means, YOU!

... You escape from school one hour earlier just because you want to record a Roxette interview on the radio (I did that!!!!!)

... One of your friends wants you to give her a list of Roxette songs to download... and you make a list of 172 items! :D

Nati80 said on January 10, 2006 01:29:

... You are listening to the radio and you can guess that the next song coming is Roxette’s. It happened to me TODAY!

You spend almost a solid week going through old music, videos and photos as a kind of trip down memory lane!

maddy is that you? we used to write in the mid nineties! then i got moved n lost my contacts:( hope ur ok!

Secretkeeper81 said on July 2, 2006 20:51:

Yep, that’s me indeed! :)

I used to have lots of Rox-pals in the 90s but gave up penpalling as soon as I entered university due to lack of time, and I sort of grew tired of Roxette after I didn’t like their HAND and RS albums.

Recently I loved the SOAP album, so I started browsing the Rox-sites again, and it’s really nice to be back ;)

Back on topic, those 2 of mine were also printed on the fanclub magazine, I was so proud at that time!! XD

Secretkeeper, I think we had a similar evolution ;)

@secretkeeper & miss-misery

You lost the faith and ran away......

But at least you came back!!

Apparently it’s the chorus backwards. Read that in an old interview. “It was an Ander’s trick!”

Majdy said on July 5, 2006 13:38:

”...when you support Sweden’s National Team at FIFA’s worldcup (or other worldcups) just because of Roxette...”

LOL! I thought I was the only one :D

Roxcat said on July 5, 2006 20:12:

Pfew, that’s an old one..
Remembers me of the old days, when I was very much into Rox..

Anyway, glad people still like it...
I started it as a ripp off of the X-files fans, who got the ’you know you’re an X-Phile when...’

Rox-greetings,
