MDefarge:
Every couple has their little “thing” that quirk in their relationship that makes them laugh when they think about it, but isn’t usually discussed with friends. 

Here is mine.  I work in the payroll department at my office, and Thursdays are pay check day – it’s my favorite day of the week, and my DBF knows it.  Somehow (and I really don’t remember how it started) this has turned into a whole day of “rituals.”  The morning usually starts w. the BF saying something along the lines of “oh today is your fun day, have a great time.” I go to work, and after I get home from work and he’s home from school we get takeout from “our” place – this Indian restaurant where we had our first date.  We stop by blockbuster first, pick up a couple of movies, pick up our food then head home.  Eat and watch a movie.

Ok, normal so far, here’s the really quirky part – every Thursday night we sleep backwards – with our heads at the foot of the bed, feet at the top. Like I said, I have no idea how this started, but it’s fun to do something different, even (especially?) because it’s just the one night of the week.

So what quirky thing do you and YOUR SO do?

We have two: The Geek Date and Junk Food Night
The geek date is dinner and an evening at Border's Bookstore. Sometimes we go to the movies and the bookstore, but we always do dinner and the bookstore.
Junk Food Night. Whenever we get a weekend night free from parenting (when a benevolent grandparent steps in) we like to get frozen appetizers (I love creamcheese jalapenos and hubby likes pizza rolls) and we play marathon Doom games on the PC while we pig out on snacks. It's the only night I don't cook some real food for supper and we enjoy ourselves immensely.

When Cop was here, I sat in his lap EVERY night to watch TV.  (Hey! Quit groaning!)

Being an E-Hellion, I'd always ASK first and that drove him nuts. 

Gosh I miss him.  :'(

DH and I started a tradition our first Xmas together that we usually follow every year to some extent:  the Twin Peaks marathon. 

You see, DH LOVES Twin Peaks, and in 2000, when we got together, I had never seen it, but he had talked and talked about it so when I went home for a visit, I stopped in the Suncoast I used to work at and saw a full VHS boxset of both seasons and knew it was the perfect gift.  I am the type of person that cannot wait to give a present, but I held out till a week before Xmas and let him have it early.  We spent the next 7 days laying on an air mattress in our living room watching episode after episode and I ended up loving the show too.  Now, every year, we have a marathon right around the holidays, although we did switch to season 1 DVD (season 2 is only on VHS as far as I can tell) and then watch season 2 on tape.   :)

The marathon idea got to be so much fun that we also ended up doing that with the Buffy and Angel DVDs when they came out as well, but Twin Peaks is reserved for Xmas alone.

Super geek moment, y'all:

Jeff and I can't afford real dates (we're starving artists, plus I'm a student), so we go and sit in the snack lounge in the library*, drinking sodas from the machine and talking for hours. Sometimes we don't even talk--we get books and read side by side.

* A lot of people close the door and hang, so we aren't a disturbance
