I wonder why

I have noticed that sometimes it is far easier to do something you know you should have done a long time ago when a friend tells you that you ought to do it than it is when you come to the same conclusion on your own. I wonder why that is?

because men can't think for themselves. ;)

ok, i'll admit that i LOLd to that one. and i'm not saying it's not entirely true. in that case though, i'm talking about stuff that i already KNEW was a good idea, but i couldn't convince myself to do it.

then along comes a friend who tells me what i already knew and suddenly i'm doing it. so it wasn't that i wasn't thinking for myself. i just wasn't motivating myself.

the fact that the friend in question was a female certainly didn't have anything to do with it. surely not. probably not. ah, who am i kidding.
