Until I'm sick of it.
As it is now, I'm just too damned curious to see humanity's development and eventual grab for the stars to want to die.
I want to see that landing on Mars, I want to see that first colony on Mars, I want to see the first probe to drill into Europa, I want to see the first extra-solar human flight, first man in another solarsystem, the list goes on.
Then there's all the developments in science I want to witness; physics (especially quantum-mechanics, string theory and the likes), biology (completely unravelling the process of evolution), friggin' everything.
There's just too much to see.

if i stay youthfull, like in my prime, but i can still be killed, then forever. it would be the tits to see how far humans go before earth implodes and then we move on and become more like the terrans. and also to see the events of Halo or mass effect or star trek play out would be even more awesome. and if we get interdimensional travel think about it, i could go to basically any game world or movie world/unierse EVER, i could make gears of war play out as if they had a much better orbital bombardment capibility and probably better tanks and armor and shit
Not speaking in exact years, until I lose my mental capacities. When I can't even be in control of my own thoughts, basic actions, and emotions, just off me then and there, that's no life I want to live. If I can keep my health and mental capacities, as well as youth and physicallity. Until I'm happy to die. Until I've seen the world, rode an elephant, gotten into a sword fight with my old elementary school bully, and climbed a mountain while simultaneously playing Pokemon Gold and making out with a super model.
Speaking in exact years, 64, 80 seems like a good place to go.

Well at the moment my life could end on November 1st and it wouldn't mess up my plans. Once Halloween is over I've got nothing.
Good in interviews.
"Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"
"I'll be dead"
can't argue with that.

Eternal life. I would live normally until everyone I knew died then become a sort of wandering writer and record the small events that i witness culminating in me releasing a book of my thousand year journey. That or just watch over my family line. Plus the idea of witnessing the end of humanity is both terrifying and thrilling to me.
I'd also live forever, thank you very much... and dont come here with your emo "oh life sucks and I want to die" or your "You just want to live forever cause you're afraid of death".
I want to live forever because I'm curious to see how far mankind will reach, and experience all the changes.

I would want to live forever (I'm so original, aren't I?), so long as I had the option of killing myself. That way if I ever felt like I should die I would be able to. But knowing that I had all the time in the world would mean that I could take things as I want them rather than be rushed to do things because "you only have so much time to live". Mortality can kiss my ass.
