So in the spirit of scientific endeavour, I shall determine with this thread if it is truly a CC-unique effect, or if other individuals can have a similar bizarre influence.
I await eagerly the outcome.

-one hand-drawn poster (dated 1989) of what I expected the future Europe-Western Russia Area to look like in the near future, based on trends I saw at the time. Mostly correct, except that the Basque and Bretagne nations don't exist yet. However, it does show a unified Germany, a fragmented Yugoslavia, a separated Czechoslovakia, and a Broken-up USSR, so I'm 4 and 2.
- 1 TV Guide poster of Gillian Anderson
- 1 pic taken at my best female friend's medieval-style wedding (the bride wore chain mail)

- A door (well, obviously).
- Starting with the side wall, there's a bulletin board-type thing with pins collected from various places.
- Below that is a cardboard box with, well, stuff.
- Next to the box is a, erm, furniture thing with drawers.
- On top of the furniture thing are TM Optimus Primal and Megatron, Depth Charge, Rampage, Menasor, Nightbeat, G2 Dreadwing, two G2 Cyberjets, various Micromasters, and some assorted non-Transformers stuff (like TNG figures).
- Above those is a non-working clock shaped like the Enterprise-E.
- Starting with the back wall, I have this weird shelf structure, which includes most of Nerf's product line from 1994-1998 (well, the guns, at least), the Star Wars fighter toys made by, erm, some company, and several seashells.
- Next are more shelves, containing disks and CD-ROMs and other archived stuff that I haven't touched in years.
- My bed is sort of in the corner where the back wall and next side wall are joined.
- The side wall also has a window, where I keep AV equipment like cables and tape recorders and the like.
- The front wall has three more shelf units. The first has my Dilbert, Garfield, and Calvin & Hobbes books, my Transformers comics, rarely-used battery chargers, etc.
- The second shelf unit has some misc. books, plus my TV and laptop.
- The third is mostly more books, and the Star Trek and Star Wars Micromachines, scattered around.
- Next is a door. Well, I suppose that's the entire room, then.

Oh, and I also own a copy of nearly every Star Trek book Pocket Books has published, along with most of the old Bantam books, etc.
I once said "I'm going to marry the girl who's impressed by that."

I'm feeling very ambivalent about my shelves right now. For a start, the roof slopes down to such an extent that I had to get quite low ones. Now I look at them, I think I need to extend them along the wall a bit. . . you can see them at the IKEA site, they have this cool Java application that lets you design your perfect shelf plan:

Another thing I've noticed about Anthony: has he ever heard of the word 'favour?' Every time a character in any of his books wants something from someone, they end up having to do something specific in return. The Adept trilogy would be one book if it wasn't for the endless padding in the form of diversionary subplots. Having read some of his interminable biographical info, I wonder.
Spell was my first, too. couldn't find Pale Horse, so I started with the next best thing, as was referred to me. So Apprentice Adept is the Phaze series? Mas bueno! all the more for me to read!! HEHE...I'm in the same position as Jubes though--little to no cash available *snif* must use crappy library copies and cannot read at my leisure :P
...i'm finding there are a lot more Anthony fans out there in the woodwork than I ever imagined! *L* no WONDER the man is so successful *L*
