Research a way to kill myself. Spend every waking hour making sure I could die. What happens when the human civilization goes extinct as it inevitably will? What happens when the sun expands and consumes the earth? You'll just be floating in space forever with just your thoughts to keep you company while you suffer in agony from suffocating and dehydration and starvation and solar radiation and near zero degree temperature. It would be worse than hell.

Or you could spend your immortality finding ways to go beyond physical limitations and become a God, or at least a space-traveling super-being.

You worm your way into the heart of human society, drive technical innovation in ways that are useful to you, but you still carefully make sure that no other human can put together all the pieces. Then you can push all of humanity into the space age, or cause some kind of apocalypse so you're the only person on Earth who knows all the stuff it discovered. Then you build your self-perpetuating nano-spaceship and explore the universe. After that, all you have to worry about is the eventual heat-death of the universe, and you can use that time to find a way into another universe or just a way to transcend it altogether and make your own.

Gawd, it's not even hard, it's just the obvious thing you'd do, am I the only one who thinks about these things?
