Groundhog Day

Anyone else stuck in groundhog day?
I dunno what to do, I want to travel Europe but it seems daunting going on my own to places where I have no friends and cannot speak the language.
Yet I'm stuck in groundhog day here.
All my friends have grown old, they have babies, they don't party anymore. I don't wanna put my slippers on though, I'm only 25! I don't wanna give up partying, ever.
Any ideas what to do next in this crazy world? I'm free to do anything as I pursue no career and have no attachments.

Come to scotland, people speak english, pot is class C drug, and there is a decent mushroom culture here (the proper ones of course, other than that people are mycophobes!) Plus, in scotland you'll find plenty of english speaking folk from all around the world that make really good tripping and travelling buddies!

i'd like to go to scotland. I wonder what the weed is like. And how are they toward blacks?

*well it's only a partial quote
Ok well, first off if you don't know the language - learn it! there's something new to your day. And it doesn't have to cost anything. Go to library, look up lessons online... or if you're willing to spend a bit of money, pick up "Rosetta Stone" at a Bookstore.
Second off, I'm also 25 and I love to travel too. I was actually thinking about going to a few places alone, and have mini-vacations. I don't have many friends who are now married with children.... it's more like my friends are supposedly broke, but they still have money for drugs and alcohol. Check out xjet- they fly non-stop flights only from a lot of major cities. A round trip ticket is usually only a couple hundred bucks. I am actually thinking of going to san diego in a couple months.
so I dunno, find something you're interested in to break the monotony of wake, work, est, sleep, repeat.
Go to a pawn shop and pick up a cheap guitar and start learning it. I've self-taught myself and I'm at an intermediate level. I can't shred or do crazy finger-picking/weird chord stuff, but I can play most popular songs and read tabs.
Or pick up a second job. Might not sound like a good idea, uhg more work, but work somewhere fun. Be a bartender (fucking AWESOME tips FTW), work at your favorite clothing store (discount FTW). You'll work with a bunch of high school kids and that's always fun and you'll learn about some cool parties... but attend at your own risk since you will probably be the only person of drinking age there and if the party gets busted you;ll get slapped with a nice contributing to minors ticket. These jobs will pay minimum wage, maybe $1 more if you're lucky- or if you pick up a server/bartender job you'll make tips. This is also useful if you plan to go to Europe, since the US dollar is shit. Extra money is never a bad thing, and you only have to work 2-3 days a week, usually only 4-5 hour shifts. That'll break monotony.
I dunno, I've been in your place and it sucks. But you have to make the change. And if you ever want a travel partner, def hit me up. I plan to get at least one stamp in my passport every year.

Some of that I'm already doing, I started guitar about a year ago, I've now got an acoustic and an electric, I play most days and I'm definately improving but its still not enough to fulfill my lonely days!
About chillin with the kids, seems thats happened anyway. As my friends have grown up and settled down, I've still gone out partying whenever possible. I've notice the people around me getting younger and younger. Theres still some peeps like me there (mid 20's) and some oldies (30 or 40+) but it doesn't seem quite right. I love all people but sometimes I feel like I'm an old fart. Especially when the only girls to hit on are 18 
Stoned shroom, I'm thinking of hitting Spain or somewhere else in europe later this year, are you game?
I def gotta start meeting with shroomerites!
