Pet Peeves

So I've been noticing it A LOT lately. It's like it stopped and then came back - I don't know. But it seems as though people are saying, "You're going to have an aneurysm!" Or "It feels like I'm having an aneurysm!" Yeah, well I'm sorry, but you're probably not and it's getting super annoying when you say things like that. Oh, and here's another one that I've heard, "You're going to fall and have an aneurysm." ...

REALLY?!

I was unaware that falling would cause an aneurysm to burst, but that could just be me. But for those who don't know, let's have a little lesson on what an aneurysm is, shall we? :D

A brain aneurysm is a weak bulging spot on the wall of a brain artery very much like a thin balloon or weak spot on an inner tube. Aneurysms form silently from wear and tear on the arteries, and sometimes can form from injury, infection, or inherited tendency. --- http://www.bafound.org/info/index.php

Thank you, bafound.org (:

If an aneurysm bursts, you have little chance of surviving without permanent injury -- little chance of surviving at all, for that matter. So if you're at school the next day after a major headache that you swore up and down was an "aneurysm" I would think again. And please don't say it in front of me. You may or may not know what my mom has been through on this topic and this is probably why it bothers me so much.

Oh! And you don't always die from it. I've heard that one, too and I was like, "Really? My mom's dead? Hmmm...."

So yeah, I just wanted to tell you all about this pet peeve and how annoying it is when you all say things like that that it really bothers me. Any questions about it? Comment or email me, I'd be glad to answer any. I know a crap load on this subject, considering I've been dealing with it since was six -- 'kay thanks. :D
