Good question...
At least I don't have trouble figuring out what to do on a rainy Thursday afternoon :) i keep hearing people say how they're sick of Winter (and have been for quite some time already), while I'm thinking "Sheesh! I don't have TIME for nice weather, I'm too busy as it is!"

I was pondering "immortality", or at least a VERY long lifespan, and wondering "What happens once you've reached the pinnacle of your dreams and desires, and then still have hundreds of years to live after that?" Do you decline from having reached your aspirations into nothing, move on to newer and greater ones, or what?

I've always thought that if you were granted "immortality", you would have responsibilities far above and beyond those of everyday life. You would be a keeper of history, akin to that 'archivist' from Dragonlance, or The Watcher from the DC universe. Using your immortality for purely selfish purposes would be greedy and unworthy of the mantle.

I think in order to deserve immortality you need to be an orphan who makes toys and delivers them through blizzards and sickness to needy children. At least that's one of the few mortals I know who has been granted such a gift :)
