34. I've been spending a lot less time on DU lately for that very reason.
People, for whatever reason, just seem to be nasty to each other. And with the upcoming election, I can't see it getting better anytime soon. The Lounge is, at times, like being back in junior high, and GD, on the rare occasion that I enter, is just shrieky-hysterical. My final year of college is coming up, which means graduate school, visa, and internship applications atop a normal courseload. At this point, I really don't need any additional stress.
