What would you do if you were immortal? You can't die and you'll live forever, what would you do with all that time? Let's even make it retroactive: You're an immortal and you've already observed and interacted with the entire span of human history.
What to do with eternity

Sleep. A LOT.
And refine my swordminship so other immortals don't take my head.
And finaly finish my castle in Minecraft.
EDIT: Also, can we be hurt? If so, then I would avoid some things. If not, then I would be more reckless.

Well, considering there are no time constraints to worry me except the actual end of the Earth, I suppose I would sit my ass on a beach and make the greatest sand castle ever while investing money in bonds.
Use my vast knowledge to build an army of robots to colonize the universe and give me companionship.
I'm sure I covered this.
I believe last time, I said I would be the combination of Ladd Russo and Isaac Dian from Baccano.

I can't die in the sense of ..nothing can kill me? Because otherwise being immortal sort of sucks if you have to consider starvation. And you'd either have to marry rich or get a job because no one would be there to support you. Granted, if you were alive many years back you could have made some wicked investments.
Read, play games, get roaring drunk so that I can forget the angst inducing knowledge that I'm alone in the universe, will see its end and everyone I meet will die before me. The next step from that is either dancing on bars or throwing up in the bushes.

Invent a time machine. Sure it would take a long time, but if I were immortal time wouldn't be an issue for me. I'd also travel, and absorb all the knowledge everywhere. Then I would become the Shadow Broker.
After getting my finances in order to the point where I can survive without working... I'd spend a few decades here mastering a skill, a few there building something, spend a few just experiencing all of the craziest things the world has to offer (I'd probably do this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaMTSOI1Zk4] for at least a decade)... y'know, until I've learned and done everything that I could possibly consider worth doing or learning. By that time, I'd have no doubt forgotten some things... so I'd re-experience some. I think I'd have to keep a really long list.
I'd thrive off of human innovation, relying on new creations to keep me from getting bored. I'd be a playboy who swaps identities to hide my immortality and works at any job I want not for the money but for the different-ness of it. I would also be very easily bored, and need constant stimulus.
