Obsessed?

Are you obsessed too? Well, you are not alone (though it does seem like it sometimes!)
Here is a list of some of the crazy things that fans do!
If you have done something weird in the name of obsession for Roxette, email it to me!

           OBSESSED THINGS THAT FANS DO

*  When I was 15  I used to cut my hair like Marie's and bleach it blonde (Sparvöga)
*  When I saw the video for Silver Blue and Marie was wearing those black canvas sneakers, I searched
    all the shoe stores to find the same sneakers! (Sparvöga)
*  I talked about them so much in high school that everybody called me "The Roxette Girl" - even some
    kids I didn't know! (Sparvöga)
*  I'm thinking of getting a tattoo... (Sparvöga)
*  I became famous at two radio stations by ringing up every night to talk about Roxette (Sparvöga)
*  Once on the radio the DJ said Marie had a tragic haircut so I rang up and yelled at her until she went
    on air to apologise for insulting Marie (Sparvöga)
*  I wear Roxette T-shirts to college even though I get laughed at (Sparvöga)
*  I rang my friends to tell them when Marie had a baby (Sparvöga)
*  I've been saving money for years to go to Sweden, when I could use the money for a car (Sparvöga)
*  I won a Roxette lookalike contest (Sparvöga)
*  I made a website called The Marie Fredriksson Worship Page! (Sparvöga)
*  When I saw MTV Unplugged, I asked everybody for a hat like Marie's, until my boyfriend gave me
    one. And I started to use it as Marie...(June Cooper)
*  I'll get a tattoo soon! (June Cooper)
*  When I saw "How do you do" I bought the same shoes as her... (June Cooper)
*  I'll probably name my first born daughter Gun Marie (Sparvöga)
*  I changed my name to Marie (Marie)
*  When I saw Roxette live for the first time, out of 100 photos only three didn't have Marie in them (James)
*  My ambition is to get every Marie song ever recorded (James)
*  I always blow all my wages on Marie-records even if it means going the rest of the month without food,
   drink, clothes or anything else (James)
*  Whenever anyone mentions Per Gessle I always say "Who?" (no offence PG!) (James)
*  I always sing along to Marie on Roxette songs, even when it's backing vocals only (James)
*  I'm saving to go to Sweden just in case she decides to do a solo-tour there in the next few years (James)
*  I always refer to Roxette as "she" or "her" :-)  (James)
*  Whenever anyone asks me for suggestions of what to name their baby/cat/dog/goldfish/iguana, I
    *always* say "Marie"... (James)
*  The most obsessed thing I did was put all my college stuff in my locker one day after college was over, get
    changed in the middle of the corridor, walk to the train station, meet my best Rox-friend, catch a
    train to London, find the TV studio, queue for 4 HOURS (standing up), get in the studio, battle to get to
    the front, stand for another 2 hours, then watch Marie perform WICF with Roxette for 4 minutes (she
    smiled at me and raised her eyebrows because I was screaming so loud and jumping about and waving), then
    go outside just in time to see them go off in a car, get the train home, and get home at 3.30am.  I then got
    up 3 hours later to go to college the next day....  But it was worth it! (James)
 

Very big thanks to June Cooper and James for her help with this page!
