Watching your entire species decay and become extinct before you travel the freezing, endless void for what may as well be eternity and probably end up stuck in the centre of a super-dense body like a star or a black hole?
Yeah, I'll take the year.

Immortality providing the fact that I don't age. That wouldn't be pretty.
With the year of happiness, you may be happy, but think of the grief you would cause at the end of the year. With immortality, sure you will be the only one that suffers, but for the rest of the period, you can be happy. Plus you would have forever to 'get over it' so to speak.
Plus you could be a god among men

The one year would be great, granted that any paranoia (or contemplation, rather) of dying could be erased. I should like some cool wings as well. And a girlfriend.
This thread feels like it's been done before, though.

I would go for the year of happiness so long as I don't know when it starts or ends that way I enjoy that year without the constant thought that time is running out in the back of my head.
I'd say the year of happiness but voed for Bacon because I simply couldn't pass it up. To shorten my thought process: here's a quote from the movie "Troy": I'll tell you a secret. Something they don't teach you in your temple. The Gods envy us. They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again. Also, don't tell me when the year begins/ends...though I might want to be reminded because I would probably procrastinate...also, could I end it before the predetermined end via suicide? That way I go out on my own terms and with a bang...like driving a fast car...I'm not sure into or off of what...probably the grand canyon.
Are you people serious? One year of everything going right would be better than living forever?
Think about the times you're happy. Yeah, it's great, but it's only great because you know what it's like not to be happy. If you were happy all the time, you'd get pretty sick of it.
There's only so many times someone can compliment you on your sweet 'do' and sharp suit per day before it gets boring. And how many times can you win the lottery and feel excited?
Really, even if you had a 365 day orgasm, I bet you'd get bored of it.
Immortality, on the other hand... Imagine everything you've ever wanted do do, as well as things you never thought you'd do in your wildest dreams. Even if you worked at Maccas part time, you'd be the richest guy on the planet after a hundred years or so.
You could do ANYTHING.

Happiness, because immortality is a poor choice. I really don't want to suffer through living forever. I couldn't care less about the happiness part, I'd just want to keep death as an option.
As awesome ad eternal life would be, it comes with its troubles:
1.You are sent to jail for a hundered and so years, and you cant die, so you must wait that long.
2.The apocolypse happens and wipes out everyone (a little extreme) leaving you alone.
3. Every loved one dies before you.
So give me year of happienes...even though I may be incredable drepresed as the rest of my life goes on.

A year of hapiness, a year where EVERYTHING goes right, there is pretty much no limits on that statement. A year going completely right for me would be like, a rich man giving me all his money, getting to bone any girl I wanted, including all the famous ones, I wouldn't even have to ask, they would just want it so much, that would be amazing. And then of course I can be completely creatively fulfilled by making the absolute great album ever made, which everyone goes apeshit over and I get to tour the world, and play to millions of people. Then I die at the end and get remembered as the absolute greatest and am declared a legend.
Yup that's how I want to go out(I dream big), I would gladly die at the end of that epic year, everything would go completely right and I would be completely fulfilled, no need in living after that, everything else would just seem shit. Fuck immortality, live fast, die young. Give me my epic year and nothing else will matter, because it will be just that epic.

Frankly, that one year of happiness would be cool, but I'm going into a career where I want to try and accomplish everything, and will most likely be unable to do it in my lifetime. The immortality is unfortunately my choice since already my life is pretty 'average.'
Edit: Plus, a year where EVERYTHING goes right for you will by the end of the 365 days be monotonous and boring since EVERYTHING goes right. You gotta have some kind of balance between good and bad.

Knowing I was going to die at the end would really put a downer on what was meant to be the best year of my life.
Immortality (hopefully it comes with invincibility). If the planet blows up and I get shot to some other planet with the hopes of finding life, I could land there and defeat whatever comes my way.
