  1. If there’s one thing I could go for more of, it would be just sitting around. Max isn’t into that so much; she likes to always be up doing things. Save the world, Max, and all that.
    For me, give me a laptop, a secure (and fast) internet connection, and a place to stay. I’m good for days.
    Someday, maybe we will get our island paradise.
    But for now, it’s up and away, yet again.

  3. I sat on the bus idly by, awaiting my stop. I was on my way to work. Little did I know that the next stop would be my last. As the shooter stepped onto the subway, we all sat hesitatingly wondering who was it that would attempt to save us.

  5. Sitting in my car. Idle as can be. Feeling the car vibrate under me. Letting the sensation flow through me. I am at the tip of my peak when a cop knocks on my window to tell us to leave.

  7. it’s hard to think what to write. i just stare at the word at the top of the page, and i can’t think of anything because it’s empty. my mind is idle

  8. Dangerous. I hate it when my hands, heart, and mind are idle. It’s the worst when it is my car idling. All I can think about is the price of gas. At least my mind isn’t idle.

  9. The engine sat in the driveway, still running, despite the cost of gas. It was nice, sitting here, talking with him. It always ended this way, us in the driveway, talking, even though it was late, and we both should have been sleeping. It was times like this that made me wonder if he really was the asshole everyone thought him to be. I didn’t see how that was possible.

  10. The one who you look up to. The one who you want to be. Your IDLE.

  11. Sometimes, I am on idle, I let them speak, I vaguely listen, I keep my thoughts to myself. Then I put the pedal to the metal and take them by surprise.

    Taddy
  12. What you do when you leave your car running. It’s bad for the environment and it makes the air stink in parking lots. I always tell my husband not to idle. It also wastes gas and makes lots more hot to be in.

    D Dubs
  13. He tapped impatiently on the counter, staring at the computer screen, wondering why the hell she had left without an away message and went idle on Trillian at the most inopportune time. Honestly, was it that hard? He just needed a yes or no answer.

    Did she want to go help him bury his dead but not quite so dead zombie uncle or not?

    Lera
  14. He got out of the car and left it idle, despite the fact that she always took forever. Maybe one day he’d remember this fact and turn the car off, or maybe he’ll just break up with her tonight.

  15. His fingers had always been lively, illustrating his tales by dancing in the air, attached to warm hands and firm arms; a passionate and live body always movingdoingthinkingbeing.

    But now on the edge of the wooden casket they remained still and gray. Proof that he had become victim to the ultimate form of idleness.

  16. The clock at the wall clicked away idly. It was past time that anyone should be around to listen to its tick-tock tick-tock. However, Benjamin Breatly sat at his desk, pounding away at a typewriter that clicked with the same intesity as the clock on the wall.

    Amanda
  17. idle time is such a waste…. Need to move, need to accomplish. I need to progress. Idle time does me no good unless it is time to sleep. Need to leave my mark. I will be idle …. Never

    Jamie C.
  18. idleness, an essay about nothing. The same old excuse to not surprise.

    Catarina

  22. I sat here idley – oh how do you spell that!! waiting for inspiration to rise up from within… Facebook is certainly a place for the idle ..
    I wish my puppyt would be idle.

    Angelica
  23. this is exactly what i am right now. but not in the nice-idle-restless-free-i-can-do-anything sense. idle because i don’t know how to continue. because i need inspiration and more ambition i guess. to get this out

  24. I don’t think quietness is my virtue – in fact, I know it’s not. But you can be idle without being quiet. Idle hands… no, I won’t use that cliche. But let’s just say, you can get quite wild and still not really *do anything*. Being alone, being idle… it’s freedom.

    Luke Lockhart
  25. They were idle on the edge of the road, not even pecking the ground. He’d never seen such beautiful feasants before and went for his gun immediately, with thoughts centered on trophies.
    The guards told him afterwards they were just decoys.

    Nathalie (spacedlaw)
  26. idle eyes flicker slowly between the two opponents. the tension is pulled tight over the crowed, like seranwrap over last nights leftovers. there’s no way this can end happily.

  27. perfict, marvelous things that suit things. i mean, ideal. but idle. stoping, being numb i guess. not quite, just still. not numb. peacfull, limbo

  28. He was bored, idle, useless. The weight of the wasted day weighed heavily on his shoulders; exasperated with himself, he lay back on his bed for the umpteenth time. Nothing was getting DONE!

    Chuck Meacham
  29. The time I spend writing this,
    The time I spend at home,
    The time I spend on vacation,
    The time I spend at my best:
    Idle.

  30. idle. that’s what my car will be doing soon if i don’t tune it up. maybe it will burn up soon so i can buy a bigger gas guzzling piece of shit.

  31. idle defines my present lot in life. hibernating. asleep until further notice. waiting game. wait for work, wait for meaning, wait for the bus, wait for worthwhile friends, wait for that call, wait for tomorrow, wait for someone/something/anything/everything. i am idle personified.

    carrie
  32. stop time. bones shatter and brake.
    pause. how about some coffee?
    i’ll bake the cake if it made you stay.

  33. el mundo es tan pequeño y pasas tan rápido que no nos damos cuenta que tenemos que disfrutar lo que se nos da, tanto los amigos como la gente que nos hace tropezar, podemos sentarnos todos los días a quejarnos del tiempo y de las cosas que nos pasan o simplemente amar lo que se nos ha dado, y aprovechar las oportunidades que tengamos, porque quizás no habrá mañana para vivirlas, así que tratemos de ver el día de hoy como todo lo que tenemos

  34. she didnt return my feelings and she said her mood was on ‘idle’. she couldnt be reached but she was still there, staring out the window. her hands on her stomach, neatly folded over one another. her legs in the air, her face red hot. i was there but she wasnt with me.

    [Marisa]
  35. Idle is that time of nothing. Youre sitting at your computer and you just sortof zone out. You may not realize it, but it happens, and then when your screensaver pops up, it brings you out of this state of idle-ness.

    Leah Heidelmeier
  36. never idle. always busy. thats the way to live life. idle mind is the devils workshop. idling away lying on the grass is so much fun . . for cows that it at least they seem to enjoy it . .

  37. I was idle towards the thought of him lying to me like that. I was caught so off-guard. I thought I could trust him. Trust is such a fragile thing. If only people fully understood that when they lied.

  38. The last chapter of my senior memory book starts out with me discussing what it’s like to be idle at my desk. About all the things I keep there and how they represent me and everything I’m about and interested in. Tonight I told someone important about my memory book. That special book I worked so hard on, forty pages that represent me and my talent. The last time I told someone about that he scoffed at me and told me I care too much. Maybe I do. But that’s why I’m like Gigi, isn’t it? And she gets the boy in the end.

  39. i sit idle.alone.tired.
    i sit broken. sleepless. dry.
    i sit on my idle hands.
    idle hands

  40. There’s always idle time on our hands when we make excuses to all that seek us out that we’re “too busy” to communicate or care for them…so we instead waste that time wondering why we are so fucking lonely.
