  1. I don’t like to be idle. I wish I could be busy all the time. Hardworking people aren’t idle. Sometimes I work hard all day and right when I become idle, someones comes over and sees me sitting down. I have been idle recently playing on the internet.

  2. Idle idle idle.
    I don’t think. Don’t move. Don’t speak.
    Just idle.
    I breathe.
    My heart beats.
    My eyes see.
    My skin feels.
    But I am not.
    I am idle.
    Idle idle idle.
    My thoughts are merely the tiniest sensations of my unmoving body as it idles, not even stimulating a thought of my own.
    Idle.

  3. sit idle and talk. talk about dreams there’ll never be money to buy. talk about goals and why they can’t be met for all the things that have to happen first that will never happen. talk about desires and the impossibility of achieving them. shoot down all solutions and in the end, square one has never been left and nothing has been moved but jaw muscles.

  4. still, are we supposed to write words or stories?
    Sitting. Sitting in place is like a death sentence. One that seems forever but is really just a faucet of the human race.
    Uhm, bye.

  6. Idle time… an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. It’s interesting that I’m writing about the word idle because idle time is what caused me to come to this site through stumbleupon in the first place. I’m idling my time away but am I idling my life away as well? I don’t think so.

  7. I’m not going anywhere with my life that matters. People tell me that at the moment my life is in idle. I can’t go any further, and yet I can’t seem to stand still. I want to move, and I want to succeed. Its hard and the harder it gets I will strive, Because being in idle is just a state of mind.

  8. Idly I sat in the grass, sun beating down on my back, scribbling down everything that came into my head, but however hard i tried, it was near impossible to contain all that i was feeling in mere words.

  9. Idle. Nothing was happening. She tapped her pen on the desk and stared at the clock. Her fingerst twitched. Why was she there? She stared at the white walls and sanitary surroundings in anger. She had come there for an interview, not for solitary confinement. Why weren’t they here, asking her all of the normal questions? She couldn’t figure it out.

  10. dont move. stop. stay where you are. no movement aloud. pause. false. the road stops. pulse try harder. go further, move closer. stay close to the door. go. leave.

    Lindsey
  11. Idle is a state in which I am unable to grasp a concept of. Standing still, with minutes passing by, no chance of forgiveness. Hope. Passing time. Waiting; but still being. Nothing I would like to achieve or accomplish. The opposite of running a marathon, or biking to India from Europe. A waste.

  12. I was idly standing by the side of the road when a giant bus came by and ran me over. I died.

  13. Aim buddy list, when a friend is idle, its letting you know you won’t have contact with them until they return to their buddy list. When you see the boy you like is idle, you’d become overcome with a feeling of sadness that you didn’t reach him ontime to make conversation. Oh the ups and downs of being “idle”.

    Bobbi Longton
  14. Idle is the wind when you step out of your shell. You expect a gust, yet the reality of the situation doesn’t surprize you one bit.

    Travis

  28. I sit at a computer, the boredom that sits in my brain like a dying slug begins to leech my remaining productivity, ensuring that this day, like any other, has been a waste. I aimlessly idle like a car engine, sitting along in an unlit parking log somewhere in the middle of the desert. some would call my sate of serenity an oasis, but I can only feel parched by the indecision of monotony. I stare into a wall that melts with the hours of wasted sunlight and embraced flourescent light. I have gotten a suntan from the halogen lights in my cubicle, I have gotten a first class education from my flickering 17 inch monitor, and I have accomplished nothing but the idle musings of the walking dead.

    Mark Cohen
  29. She stopped at the lights, her car running fast on idle. It was time to have it serviced, but she really didn’t have the money – too many other things to spend her money on. Clothes, make up, going out and having a good time. The car could wait. Her father nagged her about her car incestantly. His was serviced at regular intervals and was kept in a pristine condition.

  31. being idle is one of those things i fear, in a weird way. sure there are other sins to be wary of but admittedly, it’s sloth that really makes my knees shake. there is nothing i want to be called less than lazy. thanks dad.

  33. idling is the waiting for something to happen. when i see idle, I think about cars and the signs warning not to idle as it is detrimental to the environment. I do not idle and nor do my parents.

    Bonovro
  34. How ironic. Or oddly appropriate. Idleness is the root of all evils. Idleness is a luxury. One we squander and denounce in youth and seem to always be searching for in adulthood. Idleness is completely ironic.

  35. “I’m going to get my helicopter off the roof!” Michael shouted as he ran through the kitchen.

    “‘Kay,” his mother said. Then, “Wait, what?”

    The front door slammed.

    His mother briefly considered following, then closed her eyes and resumed her nap.
