All of the books about Thomas I've read are clear that, in his view, there is no decision involved -- no change or temporal element in creation. You are correct that this would require mental movement, and this is why both the Thomists and the Neoplatonists rule it out.
Kind of sounds like the act of creation was involuntary.
Like god was, in fact, a universe farting pixie?
