We did rosegrams on Valentine's in high school, but they were mostly for couples so I never got one.
P. and I did our Fancy Dinner Out for V-Day last night and the reservation was 8:30, so all I saw of the Grammies was the opening medley (Gwen Stefani's outfit was NOT RIGHT, but I loved the suits on the Franz Ferdinand and Maroon 5 boys) and, after we got home, "Across the Universe." I turned it off and went to bed when John Mayer won song of the year -- it probably wasn't the worst song nominated, not with Hooobastank in there, but it still bugs me.
I have a teeny sore throat. I am going off to retreive medicinal hot chocolate.
My school did the carnation-o-gram bit. The tacky bouquet was from an actual florist (or grocery store, I don't recall) and was because I'd been bitching about how much I hated the carnation deal after I'd gotten forced into selling them. I suspect I'd been ranting about it for weeks. So my dear, dear friends decided to torment me more.
Today is two years with Bob. Our first date was on V-Day (a bad idea at the time, but makes things awfully efficient now) and his birthday is tomorrow. So I only have to buy one annibirthentines day gift, but I think Bob is getting an iPod.

That's just like having a kid near Christmas and combining presents. AKA mean. Buy him three things! I insist upon it.
That is quite efficient!
Which reminds me, I have to go wish someone happy birthday...
I don't know what our HS did. I never had a girlfriend in HS (lots of asking out, lots of rejection), so the issue never came up.
I asked out maybe three or four girls in HS, none of whom went out with me. But a girl asked
me
out, and we ended going out together for a year and a half. She originally asked me out to make her boyfriend jealous.
Ahh, high school romance....

Well, then, he'll get three thirds of an iPod.
Actually, I'm sure we'll have dinner and I'll also get him a book or something. I think you can get away with one extravagant gift rather than three littler ones.
but is it a
diamond
iPod?
