Immortality is way over rated.

is this immortality or immortality with invulnerability (including no pain from things that can't kill you)
feel the steady stroke of geeky mental-masturbation
I think there should be a ground rule of: no discussing the Incredible Hulk, Superman or Vampires (unless directly related from stories pre-1700)

I'd float though a black hole. or maybe chill out on a comet. that's how i'd waste eternity and squander my gift.

And whilst you're pointing and shouting at the boogeyman in the corner, you're missing the burglar coming in through the window.
Well, Duh! Because they had a giant Mining ship. If you had a giant mining ship you would drill holes in everything too, before you'd destory it with a black hole |

That would completely inutterably suck. You'd probably be just this side of Satan within 2 centuries. Everything you know and care about dies and you keep going.

Place a lot of bets.
I'd probably smoke again as well. It aint going to kill me after all.
Truth be told I'm sure the novelty would wear off fast as everyone you know dies, so I suspect I'd collect a whole variety of narcotic habits.
Think Cassidy from Preacher I guess..... oh damn it ! Broke the rule already.
Or spend a lot of time in labs etc being experimented on when our benevolent overlords cottoned onto my perculiar longevity.

Immortality would be precisely as fun as the amount of concurrent mobility you could possess. If were immortal I would spend a lifetime in every distinct locale on the planet, and certainly as far beyond as science would allow.

There's a lot of pessimistic people here. Sure it would suck when loved ones died, but with mortality this is solved by you 'dying' as well. Screw that.
Compare it to immortality... loved ones die, go to a funeral and be sad, but be sad while staying as youthful and pretty as always. Then spend more time living, and get new loved ones. They'll die and it'll be sad, but there's always more time for more loved ones.
Meanwhile you get to see humanity advance and develop. Think of where we'll be in 100 years, and think of how horrible it is we'll never see it. Immortality would be sweet.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”
