I actually think love is always a choice. I'm not talking about (or at least not exclusively) the sexual attraction component of love. Actually loving someone in a meaningful way (which is more about your own actions than the warm fuzzies the person inspires in you) is a choice, and a decision, and it is the actions/treatment that counts.

Well that's because of the brainwashing.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Well that's because of the brainwashing.
Damn those space clams.
I choose Lori because she's an amazing, intelligent, funny, caring, capable, sexy, dynamic person. I choose to be in a relationship with her. I choose to love her. Love can be a choice.
Just wanted to see this again.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Not to change the subject, but all of a sudden I am so very much looking forward to fall. I have an image in my brain of me walking on a sunny, cool and crisp autumn day, wearing my leather jacket, stepping on golden leaves....
My brain is very attuned to seasons - I discovered this while living in San Francisco.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
the wives held a meeting in the parking lot,
How cute! I wonder if there was queueing at any point...
I'm wondering about double bigamy -- is bigamy something you do to the first wife, therefore double bigamy means you've married two women other than her? Because I'd call it triple bigamy otherwise. Or ... trigamy.
Well, skanky. I'd certainly call it that.

Love is a choice., no doubt in my mind. I chose Matthew. There is all the beginning stuff but the way I feel about him goes way beyond that.Even when I am really angry - it is there. And it is because I chose to let him get that close to me. It is why the concept of an affair boggles my mind. Yes, it would be a betrayal of him. But more importantly, it would be a betrayal of a choice I made along time ago (and everyday).
