scaly

As couple of my friends note amused, I become rather uncomfortable when reminded of certain textures. Scaly is probably one of my least favorites.

Maybe it's because it's 4:38 in the morning and I'm not in the clearest state of minds, but I'm rather awed by how the Latin word for scaly, squameus, really captures in sounds the hair-raising vile qualities of the texture.

  1. dude, i'm like that too... but for me, it's more about patterns... anything that's too patterned gives me goose bumps, which, ironically enough, also gives me goose bumps...
