Oh, I guess just keep on keepin' on, for now. I will look up some high-yield long-term investments I can scam: at some point, I will likely wish to shift my eternal life to one of gentlemanly decadence, and I will require much funding.

No sense in worrying about my inevitable ennui and Long Dark Teatime of the Soul: we'll burn that bridge when we get there.

Jeez... Even thinking about becoming an immortal on a hypothetical level unnerves me to no end.

I am pretty sure that I would have some sort of mental breakdown at first, knowing that I am going to outlive everyone I ever love and there will be a point where it gets very dangerous for me to be out in society.

I know that I'd want to try to do something worthwhile with my time, like learn new things, become more skilled in battle, and so on... So I can, ideally, do something worthwhile for the world. But even that would be hard considering that if any government hears about there being an immortal being walking around, you can damned well bet they'd dissect you for scientific purposes and/or put you to work as an assassin.

However, the worst thing about all this is that I would have to likely fake my own death right off the bat. I would have to abandon my family since, despite how much I love them, this is something I could never tell them about.

Past a certain point, though, I would try to find a way to kill myself. I don't know when, but probably when my perception of time goes completely to crap (since it does speed up as you age/live on) or it becomes too difficult to move around and exist as normally as possible. Like another poster said, I'd have to make certain that every ounce of me is destroyed on a celular level? So I'd probably go pitch myself into some lava and pray that I do not come back from THAT.

Also, Cracked did a nice article about this topic.

Become a scholar, but also party my ass off. If you have all of eternity, might as well learn as much as you can. See the world, learn from different cultures, try to find ways to help humanity grow. Meet women, new friends, honor old friends. So much to do. Oh and learn combat arts and tactics(just in case).

I'd take a metaphorical gun to all my relation ships then attempt to find a way to make the most of my agelessness to better the world. Getting close to any one will just hurt full stop. So I'd focus on learning and shallow hedonism.

Have people pay me to shoot me several times with a gun to relieve stress. I would make a fortune.

I would perfect myself in every way imaginable. I would learn dozens of musical instruments, major in basically everything and gain immense knowledge. And I mean, IMMENSE knowledge. I a couple of lifetimes, I would be the ultimate human being. *evil laugh*

No really, It's what I'd do.

The Captain Jack Harkness style of immortality then?
I'd just do what ever I pleased.

Or possibly tag along a certain Doctor in a tiny blue box.

It's mentioned several times, but.. Yeah.. I'd take over the world. Then I'd force New Line cinema to give me the rough cut of LOTR.. 27 hours... mmmmh...

Baccano!!

I would re-think my life and attempt do something grand in the world. Not necessarily Good or Evil. But really, really big and important.

Wish for the ability to travel through time too. Otherwise, what would happen when the world ended? It would get very boring, VERY fast.

Well, considering I'm a private in the army, I'd imagine the whole 'Impervious to Death' thing would equate to one hell of a raise.

Other than that, life goes on as normal.
