We are both Terry Pratchett fans.  We both once took leave from work to drive 200 miles to stand in line to end up in a college auditorium to see him speak.  We got a book signed and it was well worth the time, money and hassle.

We make references to the disc world all the time. 

Besides collecting cats we also have books.  Two walls of our garage are lined with bookshelves and we have books in boxes, books on shelves in the house and books all over the place.

The last time we moved it was mostly books.

We call each other babycakes. I think at the beginning it was so horrendous we couldn't stop laughing at the thought of it and now it's so part of our everyday world I never even think about it anymore.

The other dorky thing we do is pretend we're not going to open our driveway gate for each other. So when I leave for work, he'll pretend he's still sleeping or in the shower and then pop out at the last minute when I'm almost at the gate. It has gotten rather elaborate over the past few months, where he'll sommersalt, cartwheel, run down the street to come from the other way etc. Any new way to surprise each other in the morning. Then gives me a big kiss and I'm on my way...

I can't wait for him to come back from his shoot, he's been gone 3 weeks now and I don't get to see him till the 23rd, at my mom's house. It's too far away.

I work 1st shift and BF works 2nd shift M-F so we only see each other on the week-ends. It has become our thing to watch the Sunday night Fox line-up with me laying one way on the couch and him the other way. Then we rub each other's feet.

I like this thread!  :)

We have silly nicknames for each other that I will not share because they're so weird. But they make us laugh.

And one of us always emails the other when we get to work to see if the other person "made it there ok". Every day.

He is a cranky guy but I really made him mushy.

My parents can be VERY cute!

For one - they refer to their alone time in the bedroom as a "date". So my dad might call and say, "I have a date with your mom tonight, so if so and so calls just tell them such and such and I'll call them back later."

And every night before my dad goes to bed, he gives my mom a hug. It's cute because he's so tall and mom's head is up under his chin. If I walk by when they do that I jokingly go "eeeeeeeew, parental mush!" and they both say "We're allowed to do this!". It's all in fun though :)

They also go out to breakfast(to a place called Norm's) together every Saturday morning to hang out with one of dad's pals. Then they go grocery shopping together.

I also remember after mom had her lumpectomy and got the dots tattooed on her to aim the radiation treatments, my dad kept teasing her by saying, "My wife has a tattoo on her boob!" and she'd reach over and punch his arm. And then when the treatments cooked a shingles infection into her nerve endings(because of an idiot doctor who didn't recognize them in time to give her antiviral medicine), my dad was the one who would try to rub lotion on the sore spots. He would also walk on her left side to sort of protect her from people hitting her during the time she was still sore from the surgery.

Like I said, my parents are really cute with each other. Mom often says that after almost 27 years of marriage to my dad, she falls for him more every day and she doesn't ever want to stop.

-He calls me everyday when he gets off of work and we chat (handsfree set) until he pulls up in the driveway, about 20 minutes. Thank goodness for free phone to phone minutes!

-We snuggle up under a blanket on the couch every night to watch tv, usually with me laying on the arm of the couch and him laying on my hip.

-Lots of silly nicknames and "he says one thing, I always reply with another" rituals.

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.

I am soooooo jealous of this ritual!  I WISH I could get BF to watch Twin Peaks with me, especially since I need somebody to protect me from thoughts of Bob.  Why don't they put season 2 on DVD already!?

From what I heard, there wasn't enough demand for it.  Also, to get BF interested, tell him little weird bits and pieces, and maybe that will spark enough interest to get him started.  That's how I get my friends to watch when they come over.
