Note: Dead people don't go anywhere when they die, they must be resurrected back to life first. Hell is the graves though and it will be burned by fire from heaven in the future.

Technically you go to a place in heaven called "the New Jerusalem" which descends to Earth 1000 years later. It's a PHYSICAL PLACE in the universe unlike what most chritian probbably think because they don't read their bibles.
Basically, it'll be like star strek because you will learn more about the universe.
Also note that you don't earn Eternal life, Jesus paid it for you and all you have to do is believe (he wont force you to live forever, that's where hell annihilation comes is, that is ceasing to exist).
In heaven you can
1. Build your own home and plant your own garden (Isaiah 65:21, 22)
2. Have a city mansion built by Christ (John 14:1-3.)
3. Sing and play heavenly music (Isaiah 35:10; 51:11; Psalm 87:7; Revelation 14:2, 3).
4. Worship before God's throne every Sabbath (Isaiah 66:22, 23).
5. Enjoy never-fading flowers and trees (Ezekiel 47:12; Isaiah 35:1, 2).
6. Meeting loved ones, patriarchs, prophets, angels etc. (Matthew 8:11; Revelation 7:9-17).
7. Study the animals of heaven (Isaiah 11:6-9; 65:25).
8. Fly and explore wonders of the universe without getting tired (Isaiah 40:31).
9. Listen to God sing (Zephaniah 3:17).
10. Realize fondest ambitions (Psalm 37:3, 4; Isaiah 65:24).
11. Being with Jesus (Revelation 14:4; 22:4; 21:3; 1 John 3:2).

The bible clearly says the saints (believers washed in the blood of the lamb)-will rule and reign with Him. It also says how we handle, as stewards of what He has given us while on earth (talent, money,opportunities,etc) will also determine what He will have us to in heaven. I also believe we will have free time to do things we enjoy in which case I will be painting on canvas,etc.visiting with the disciples,worshipping the Lord God and rejoicing to be free of the physical afflictions I have at this time in my life.

Start a Satanic Death Metal Band!!
LMAO
But seriously, it doesn't really sound like a lot of options for a place your supposed to spend "eternity" in. Wouldn't you get bored after a few million years when you done absolutely EVERYTHING?
Perhaps amnesia would be an option so you can do it all again, but then that would seem a little pointless........
Maybe your god would let YOU become a god of your own universe so you could taunt beings with petty rules for several millennia.... whoa, there could be something in that!

I'd be speaking Hebrew, eating bagels, playing golf...and laughing at all the Christians working as employees on leave from the other place...

I see you conveniently left out scriptures that might shed light on your hypothesis.
Do you want to talk about the things that will remain and the things that can be shaken?
I so like your list of things to do, though, in context they have other meanings, I wouldn't mind doing those things and maybe I will.

well really you answered the question already, but I want to decorate mansions and even help build them. Also I want to be reunited with my pets and spend happy time with them. I want to stroll around and visit my parents and others. I want to touch the face of Jesus and thank Him.

You're a bit out there.
Assuming there was a heaven, I wouldn't be floating around with wings, playing a harp. My heaven would be a new adventure...with new loves, new challenges and new fun.

What's more silly:
a child afraid of the dark or
an adult afraid of the light?
Heaven (above) is neither.
Try thinking "higher" than "high";
for getting high on law is deadly.
L & R of Nothing is also Nothing.
