How would you pass the time if you were immortal?

If I didn't have to worry about ageing and thus dying before my task is complete, I would set about solving every problem I am aware of, whether they be math problems, logic problems or political or religious quandries.
After those are all solved, I would create more interesting problems for mortals to solve as the Sphinx would likely do.

I would either say I was the 5ft coming of Jesus (no questions), or I would rip my heart out and eat it; just for kicks 
Ok, just to clarify, does not dying mean that you don't need to breathe because you don't need oxygen to survive? And does that mean that holding your breath indefinitely would not be painful? On that same note, does this mean that if you (for example) go into space/get cut in half you won't explode/actually be cut in half?Lamppenkeyboard said:
Because if those work,I would invent incredibly powerful rocket boots, get a real rocket to fly me to the moon, then use my rocket boots to launch myself at an ocean, thereby doing the most awesome dive in existence (I'm thinking 300 backflips, 12 cups of coffee and 3 bars of chocolate before I land). Also, I only do this if the 'immortal' thing stops me going 'splat'.
If I do go 'splat', then I would learn everything I could about the known universe, destroy the sun and replace it with a light/heat source with the same gravitational pull as the sun, except the generator gets its energy from ... well I'd figure something out once I know the secrets of the universe. This way, the sun never explodes and the world can exist forever (I'd also solve any other earth-shattering problems which may arise). Then I'd use genetic splicing to create wings for myself so I can fly. I'd also give myself advanced senses (like wolf-grade smelling and stuff) so that I could become the human equivalent of God (immortal and omniscient, and with my omniscience and advanced senses and abilities, I could effectively become as omnipotent as humanly possible). Then I would go on a crusade to save all wild-life on the planet (mainly becasue I like things like wlves and dogs and birds and mice and stuff, just because they are so awesome)(I would prefer to make people more eco-friendly and less all-round-stupid, but if that doesn't work I could always kill them all). That way, I could live forever in a paradise-esque environment where I am (effectively) a God (people don't do dangerous or stupid things out of fear/respect of me).
Well, as I'm a masochist to begin with, I guess I'd enlist into military service in various countries under different names throughout time. I'd try to be involved in every war I possibly could. maybe after I'm done with that, I'd enter into politics and play my hand at the Great Game.
I'd probably visit a few gas/radiation chambers sans protective suit, just because. I'd also probably wear lead plated boots and visit a few large bodies of water.
Basically anything that would normally kill me, without too much pain.

People watching. Alots and alots of people watching.
And maybe talk to some good friends I'll make every life time.
