If you were immortal (or at least could not die until you decided to), how would you divvy up your time? Would you get all the videogames and stupid bullshit out of your system first, then spend the rest of eternity forming meaningful bonds and spending quality time with loved ones? Or would it be the reverse, where you live and love, do something good for the world and leave a legacy before settling down into a quiet eternity playing video games? Personally I'm pretty sure probably spend a lot more time playing videogames or reading than I would doing "meaningful" activities but hey, maybe knowing I had all the time in the world would motivate me to make every second count.

There's a short story called the immortal, where those who can't die eventually become raving lunatics or totally catatonic.

I’d probably spend a lot of time hunting and decapitating other immortals, a lot more than I do now for sure.

To answer your question OP I'd probably dedicate a large portion of my time to bio-engineering a better rear end

I don't really want to give away anything about it, but it ends with a positive view on life. I've just always found that idea interesting. If you could live forever, would you tire of life?

Am I immortal in that I won't die naturally, or can't be killed? If the second one, much of my time would likely be spent imprisoned in some strange contraption lest I break free to wreak havoc on the peasants of the countryside again.

Applewhite posted:(or at least could not die until you decided to) Sorry Applewhite, I skimmed over this part of your post. In the story the immortals cannot die and have no choice to do so.

is this the cool kind of immortality where eating/drinking/sleeping are optional, people have to really work for it if they want to kill you or else you'll just come back good as new the next day, and the worst that comes of having a building collapse on you is it takes a few months to shove all the rubble away? or is this the poo poo super-technical kind where all someone has to do is lock you in a box for a month and you come out with the size, consistency, and mental fortitude of a saltine cracker from dehydration/starvation because you haven't had any food or water or social contact in that time?

Your choice. The important thing is how you spend your free time when unobstructed by people loving with you.

I feel like there's enough to do that by the time you do an "everything" lap the things you started with will be pretty novel again. Tbqh the biggest hassle would be periodically reupping an identity.

Going insane is only bad if you belong in a society and depend on them for your survival. If you're an immortal being with no material needs floating alone between dying stars being batshit insane is practically part of your job description!
