can’t think of anything to write because idle is such a weird word to me. To be idle. Idle means not doing anything so that means that me not being able to write anything means that I’m being Idle, right? That sounds right to me. So Idle. And listening to Iron & wine’s cover of “such Great Heights”

The car idled in the drive. He waited, taking an impatient drag on his ciarette for her to come out of the house. It was supposed to be a simple grab and go, get the bag adn run. This was taking too long. A shot rang out, Edward was out of the car and runing for the door before the echo had fully died. He kicked the door in and found her against the wall

I sit idle underneath the stars of the clear sky. Pondering the very actions I had once thought vigilant. What was it she said that I had to do…ah yes: to be the bad guy.

Carrie was sitting in front of the red light. She kept checking the clock nervously. Time was almost up. She glanced at the light. Red. Still red.
She looked at the driving idling next to her. He was a young man. About twenty. Blonde, short hair.

sometimes things get really idle. No motion. Nothing to do. But other times like this week things get busy–so busy that you don’t even have time to breathe. Idle is good. Idle means you are taking time to think. Idle means you are realizing that there are other things in life than being consumed by the demand of this world.

Waiting. Always waiting. Why did it always take her so long to finish her makeup? Sigh. The engine was idling. This was wasting gas. He knew it. He also knew it was going to take her at least ten more minutes, but he always kept hoping she would hurry it up this time. She said she would after all. He looked up from the text on his phone – wow. Gorgeous.

I like to idle about things in the past, like being smaked down

i sit, idle, on my chair as i type this. in all honesty i have no idea what words i can use to describe the feeling of being idle. perhaps it is an empty, sad feeling. perhaps its not. who knows?

i was confused at that movement so i sat idle for long time. After a long hour i managed to solve the problem.

When hands are idle, so says the devil, nothing good can result. Well I say that non-idle hands have caused most of the world’s suffering. Unless you count the idle hands that didn’t do anything about it… I guess my point is that hands are the real problem, idle or otherwise.

I am idle. I can not write. To me idleness is life. Can’t break free can’t see me for me. I have writers block all the time, but I am writing none the less. Read my shorthand and I’ll be impressed. I write indiscriminately.
matthewbowser
I sat in the idle car waiting for the shadows to reach the far end of the alley, telling me that I wasn’t alone. After waiting several long minutes I sighed, he wasn’t coming. Yet again I had been lead on by wishful thinking that he’d show up like that one night.

Stuck on empty, waiting on anything at all…something to bring the foot to the gas petal…it isnt worth it

because sometimes book pages don’t have stories, just words, and you are still waiting for the same printed letters to write out your mind.

My hands hung uselessly at my sides as I stood motionless in the doorway. There was so much to do, but I couldn’t bring myself to move. The sun shone in through the windows, but the sight of it made me melancholy.

one minute late.
you’re leaning against the wall, one foot tapping to the annoying muzak playing in the lobby.
two minutes late.
you sigh and check your watch again. you roll your eyes, think about leaving… but… he said he’d be here.
five minute late.
you continue to wait, biting your lip, twiddling your thumbs.
ten minutes late now.
fifteen minutes late.
twenty.
thirty.
twiddle, twiddle.

Sometimes life contains idle mysteries, things we have forgotten to remember such as the shapes and colors of all the shoes, mittens, or gloves we wore and other things in pairs. It is poignant that we dont feel nostalgia for those things like those we have been paired with like old loves, some nameless and faceless.

THE CAR SAT in the driveway, idleing. The girl shifted around uncomftorably in her seat. What was she going to do? The only thing to do is turn the ignition and go.
Melinda Lynch
Grandmother doesn’t like to see me idle. She thinks idleness is bad, but idle is what I am when I’m at home. There’s nothing to do – completely different from when I’m at school, always doing something. Life is moving at school, with my friends, but it’s standing still at home, fossilizing, boring to death. I like idleness, but I also hate it.
Anastasia
my brother let me shift his stick shift today. only once, mind, because when I was trying to shift into third I accidentally shifted into neutral. neutral, idle, getting my thought process? I want to learn to drive a standard.

Sitting in the traffic jam. No one’s moving, but everyone is going somewhere. It’s this haste of life that seems to make everyone slow down. I don’t remember speedy Gonalez being so unhappy and he always had somewhere to go. Maybe that’s what separates us from the animals.
Don Trius
The idle pot? No, the idle kettle. No, neither!
How does it feel to sit still? How doesn’t it feel? There’s nothing to feel, or is there?
Indeed, to be idle is to be free. Indeed, there is freedom in idleness, although of what sort I cannot say.
The idle shall inherit the earth!
Karen
idle hands are something or other…i forget the saying, but i know its something my grandmother used to say to my mother. summer is a good time for being idle. especially if you are a school-teacher from september through june. its a good time for rest and relaxation.

Idle chatter drives me nuts! Why waste a perfectly good opportunity to share time with people when you could have a really meaningful connection.

I like that AIM allows you to see who is idle because back in the day you never knew if someone was not at their computer but still listed as available. Yes, the “idle feature” (as it has become known) has helped my appreciation for aim immensely.

I’m sitting here,
Alone again,
I can’t seem to get this,
Will you help me?
Explain why I’m always here,
Alone, no one holding my hand,
They say I’m a great person, beautiful,
Beauty isn’t everything.
I feel empty,
Nothing can help me now,
Its hard to imagine,
When loneliness is everywhere.

Ilde hands lead to trouble. Idle is fun when you have time. idle is good. Idle is a great pastime when you are idle..
I love being idle.

The importance of being idle,a phrase so often used,but so rarely understood in todays busy world.To be truly idle,is not to be simple lazy,or perhaps not doing anything.It is to set ones mind free,free to think and to learn and to process all of the information that has been accumulated over the course of our lives,without the use of dreams,or the wasted time of sleeping.Idleness is a tool,which most people have not only forgotten how to use,but also have built a wall of taboo around.In most modern lifestyles,there is no longer enough time for idleness,and therefore,it is condemed,like so many great ideas and ways of life before it.

Alone. Not moving. The way my life is if I dont keep working towards school. The way my love life will be if I dont make a move. THe hated feeling at a stop light. I cant stop moving and I love being busy. Remaining idle is for when you are dead.
