A few explanations. I'd forgotten I even made this last night.
Fawkes the Phoenix. You can thank Wikipedia for the info although IT MAY BE INACCURATE.

Quote:
Fawkes is an intensely magical creature, possessing a number of magical abilities, the precise extent of which are unknown. Phoenix tail feathers are suitable for inclusion in some wands; Fawkes himself provided the feathers for both Lord Voldemort's and Harry Potter's wands. Tame phoenixes are very rare and he serves as proof of Albus Dumbledore's abilities and character. Fawkes is a herbivore.
Whenever Fawkes dies, whether it be by violence or old age, he bursts into flame and is promptly reborn out of the ashes as a baby phoenix. As an adult he's about swan-sized and quite beautiful, but infant stage Fawkes has the appearance of a newborn chicken and in his geriatric stages he has dull, limp plumage.

Besides, an intelligent bird would be pretty handy for fetching things around the house.

Plus the fucker can just teleport to you! Fawkes version of the phoenix, anyway. He can also carry your ass around in flight.
The Heavenly guarantee originally (of course no one could have known this but the poll options don't allow a lot of space and I was slightly off when I made it) meant that you wouldn't die from a random freak accident, you wouldn't get knocked out by something like a heart attack, a disease like cancer, etc. So the guarantee covers the shit that's basically out of our control for the most part. What you do with your end of the deal is solely up to you.
But some of you have turned it into some sort of temporary immortality with the stunts (sexual and physical) you'd take.! And I kinda like that =o! So you can decide either way.

Fame and Money. Witht he ADDED BONUS of dying in my fifties everyone will be all "oh remember RABICLE? He was so cool, why'd he ahve to die so young?"
"Yeah I liked his portrayal of Ben Skywalker in Star War VII and VIII"
And I'd be a legend forever.

Though fame and seemingly unlimited money is the last choice I'd take of the five, this is the best way to pull it off. And fame, even when you're dead, at least makes you an immortal through sheer memories and the fact that your name will never die.
The languages option is pretty straight forward. I mean, how many of us here can claim PERFECT English in all areas of language? Can you imagine how long it would take you to reach your English level of language for seven others?
The money option has no trapdoors. Just what it is.
Although having a loyal, intelligent, magical creature friend at my side all my life would be cool, I'd have to go with the 100 year guarantee. I want to experience as much as I can before I die and I think I'd be able to handle my end of the deal. Once the 100 year mark is reached you'd still be in great health, but you'd have to take complete responsibility from that point on. Now, if you're motherfucking IMMORTAL until age 100, then this is the best choice by far.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
