For bonus fun, as of two hours ago I’ll be spending the next few days traveling to NYC, New Jersey, and back again so that I can see the girl who claimed me over New Year’s. The previous sentence does in fact parse into proper grammar; ‘over New year’s’ is the direct object of the ‘traveling’ clause.
If you’re not concerned with the intricacies of English grammar, but are interested in what’s going on, as of the week before Christmas I am dating a very nice girl who lives very far away. Our schools aren’t that far apart, though, so I’m hoping that we can maintain a viable relationship for a nontrivial length of time. My vocabulary is really getting away from me tonight.
Happy New Year to all of you; I won’t be around my computer to wish it then.
