Hypothetically...

I heard a quote recently that really resonated with me.

Paraphrasing heavily, "most people longing for immortality can't figure out what to do on a rainy Thursday afternoon."

What would somebody have to do in order to deserve immortality? If you could give immortality to one person, but only through choosing personality traits, what unique traits would that person have to have?

I can get bored when I'm just sitting around not doing anything, but it's usually more a feeling of not WANTING to do anything, not that I'm unable to do anything, which I believe is closer to boredom.

Funny thing is, waiting in lines or being stuck in a meeting are times I'm never bored. I can just put a part of my brain on some other interesting subject while the rest pays attention to what's going on around me. Usually my thought process involves zombies, but YMMV.

If I'm to the point of not wanting to do anything, I usually enjoy doing nothing. :)

I have a tendency to get lost in thought, so tuning out in those situations can be dangerous or embarrassing.
