Under ideal circumstances (peace, no wars, youth, vigour, perfect physical, mental & emotional health, & all the other things associated with ideal conditions), yes, I'd LOVE to live forever.
Tedious? Not in the least!! Oh, the places I'd live to visit & explore. The foods I'd love to sample & then make. I'd have forever, no hurrying before my mind & body deteriorates, to learn the different sciences I so badly want to learn more of, all the books I'd be able to read, the various art forms I'd be able to learn more of & do, the music I could explore, the instruments I could learn to play, the music I could compose, the crafts & skills I could develop!
I could go on & on. I'd never, EVER be bored. I'm not now, even in my very limited capabilities. Why would I be in ideal conditions? There'd never be an end to exploring new possibilities. And even if my abilities weren't great, endless time to learn & practice could accomplish so much.
I suppose it all comes down to what you consider ideal conditions to be.
