I was madly in love with Roxette when I was 8 years old. I used to pause the videos and look for hours. My brother would get so mad at me hehe.
I had a holy book in which I’d write every single lyric to every single song and put it beside my pillow at nights anywhere I went. I have my best childhood and teenage-year memories with my best friend listening to Roxette and act crazy to Roxette. That’s why when I listen to Roxette now, every single song makes me cry cause it reminds me of my lost memories.
I grew up in Iran where it was hard to find CDs or posters. I used to buy CDs each time we went to Europe but in order to get posters, I would exchange the other artists’ posters that I had. I would give a huge wall-size Maddona poster for a small post-card Roxette picture. It was crazy. My best friend and I used to play tennis, swim, play, party with Roxette. We would make amazingly beautiful letters and send it to Channel [V] every once in a while. We used to sing Roxette songs in school highways and laugh along. I used to cry at nights for Per thinking he was sad he didn’t have me!
Those may all seem stupid at this very moment but they were my true feeling. Now when I listen to Roxette, all those memories would pass before my eyes like a movie. My good and bad memories, my beautiful childhood and my friends... and I know those days would never come back.
Marrying Per was a certain fact to me at those ages and now thinking about it brings a smile to my face. It’s good to be the kid again... That’s why I’d rather think of him as my romantic Per than a non-romantic rich musician/businessman which I respect fully. I will always love him for the strength he gave me as I was growing up even though I have never met him.

DG: that’s really sweet! one day, i hope to work with per and marie because I design lighting for music and stuff. I doubt I will ever have the chance but it is all I am dreaming of these few weeks. then i get to know him as real person, which would mean more than as a singer. I hope they keep on roxing for a while so i get a chance to work for them!!!

sure, but just for the money! :p

zaine said on November 22, 2002 18:45:

i feel exactly the same :) I’m more in love with what the music does to me and how it makes me feel than anything else! I love songs like real sugar and the look because when you’re walking down the street with the song in your ears, it makes me feel like Im in a film. I love that feeling and I wish I could share that feeling with everyone but not all my friends understand that!

DaminehGessle said on November 23, 2002 18:02:

Heh. Twilight-Ghost don’t forget my feelings were of a kids :).
Yes I very much liked them to marry each other. I still think that there was once that they liked each other but it didn’t work out. I mean before Per met Asa. I really believe in that. They are very close though. But still... You should also consider the probability of a split if they were married to each other because any personal problems would affect their work.

Twilight-Ghost said on November 24, 2002 15:20:

Damineh Gessle,

I agree with your theory about them liking each other in the beginning. It’s like this mystery that surrounds them that everyone wants to know, which in a way made them more appealing. I’ve read their stories about how they met, how they became friends and how they came to work together, from various website and I thought those stories were quite touching.

I also agree with what you said about the probability of a split if they ended up together. I’ve read an interview of Marie and she said ”... it was tough working together for such a long time. If we were a couple and sharing a bed as well it would have been too much.”

You could read the interview below if you haven’t read it. It’s quite funny.

gyllene_tjej,

Where are those stories you’re suppose to have written? I want to read them. Do you mean you write fan-fictions as well? I’ve come across some Roxette ’shipping fan-fictions sites and I thought they were great.

Since the topic has been brought up. What do you all think of Roxette ’shippers and fan-fictions???

I’m a Roxette ’shipper myself. (******** Don’t shoot me!!! ********)

Twilight-Ghost said on November 25, 2002 17:21:

To: gyllene_tjej,

Yes, I’m one of you !!! And thanks for not shooting me. It’s a breath of fresh air knowing that I’m not the only Roxette ’shipper in the world. Before, I thought I was really weird.

Yes, I’ve already discovered those sites you posted, and have read most of the stories, including yours (I enjoyed your story - you’re a good writer).

I regret to say though that the “Myrth’s Chronicles” site isn’t mine, though I wish it is.
I thought it was a bit coincidental you thought it was mine because when I first discovered the site, I thought it would have been my kind of site, even my friends thought so too.

The reason is, just like the owner of the site, we both ’ship for the same couples. There was a time when I was a big Mulder/Scully ’shipper in the early season of X-Files (though now, not anymore). I was also a Buffy ’shipper, but not Buffy herself and some other character. I ship the vampire couple there who are Spike/Dru. I even *secretly* ship the actors who portrayed them James/Juliet. Though I never told my fellow Spike/Dru ’shippers, because I thought it was inappropriate to ’ship “real people”; but of course now, I think different.

I haven’t actually written any Roxette stories, because it’s only recently my “shipping passion” for them was rekindled (I’ve been putting all my energy on my personal site and my Spike/Dru site as well).
I have been a Roxette fan since I was old enough to care about musicians and their music, for me it was ’95 when I was a young teen. I love their music and I love them (and I secretly ’ship them).
I’ve always like their music but in terms of ’shipping I found someone else.

It was only recently when I bought the DVD that contains all their video clips and some documentaries did I remember the strong chemistry they had. So, there I am a big Roxette ’shipper again.

The timing for my “rekindled passion” couldn’t have come any better as I am at the moment suffering the heartache of the fall out of the Spike and Drusilla romance (if you watch Buffy you’d know what I mean).

I apologise for the long post, some you probably didn’t care to know or was unnecessary for me to post. Anyway, let me make up for recommending more Roxette ’shipper sites. I’ve been doing a lot of “Roxette related” net surfing lately.

The following are the sites:

Crazy For You: Another Roxette ’shipper site;
http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Birdland/5014/

Fireworks: A Roxette ’shipper site (but photos only - not fan-fictions)
http://kixandpix.roxette.org/Fireworks/

Enjoy them.

Cheers =)

PS: Where are you from? You can email me anytime.

Yeah I also wanted to marry Per when I was 13 years old. No one could ever say a bad word about him, he was my dream husband. I was so jealous when he married Asa. Per if your reading this I am still availble!!!.

DaminehGessle said on November 27, 2002 05:23:

Hehe yeah... I was just writing in another thread about this. Oh well I’ll just paste it.
When I was 13, I told this childhood friend of mine, who adored me by all means, that there was a man twice my age I was in love with and that I could not see him but also I could not cheat on him. The poor boy disappeared from my life. I’d never told him who the old man I loved was. He would’ve probably thought I was crazy. A few months later, he sent me a letter wishing me luck in finding this man of my dreams and that he loved me. Hahaha. Now that I think of it, I realize whatta a dream I was living in.
What’s with the age 13 anyways? :)
Yeah I was so mad at Asa oh my God. But I’m happy that they’re happy together you know. When my mom asked me a few times whether I still want to marry Per or not, I told her I wouldn’t want to interfer with her personal life now because he has a kid and also he is happy with his life. I also told my mom that I wouldn’t like another woman stealing my husband. Hah. Oh well now I am getting serious and that ain’t good.
About getting mad at people, this girl in my class told me that Per was ugly. I beat the crap out of her and told her to never ever talk about Per like that. Poor girl never came close to me.
Per, can you see how many crazy people love you?! Time for a new woman, young and restless :D!

all jealous people having inferiority complex tend to say stupid things. They are simply jealous, and well we still know Gessle is a real hunk ;)

I would settle just for sex with Marie. Hey Santi, you’re right, Andrea Corr is a babe! Although I really got the hots for Sharon Corr!
