one of the journals i read asks, quite reasonably i think, if anyone is ever actually *surprised* by valentines. i have the impression that nowadays in school you are supposed to get one for every classmate, and i like to imagine most grownups speak for themselves on a routine basis.
y'all's opinions on this topic solicited, with a verse from the old folk song "katy cruel". let's have 1 be "i have no idea" and 10 be "i am absolutely dead certain".
for kicks, let's do this twice: in the first poll, speak for yourself!
