Quae Carcajou**


"Why is the Moon so lonely?
Because She had a lover.
And every night, He looks up in the sky
And sees the Moon and howls Her name.
But, He can never touch Her again."

Why is the Moon so lonely?

Because She had a lover.

His name was Quae Carcajou and they lived in a spirit world together.

And every night they would wander the skies together.

But one of the Spirits was jealous. Trickster wanted the Moon for himself.

So he told Quae Carcajou that the Moon had asked for flowers. He told him to come to our world and pick her some wild roses.

But Quae Carcajou didn’t know that once you leave the spirit world, you can never come back.

And every night, He looks up in the sky and sees the Moon and howls Her name.

But, He can never touch Her again.

Quae Carcajou means the Wolverine.

[ X-Men Origins : Wolverine (2009) ]

If your IP is 203.116.195.130 or 203.127.116.194, I've got news for you.

On 19 Sep, from 16:29:33 to 16:42:55, you trawled my blog 11 times. That constitutes stalking.

It is not the first time this has happened.

I HAVE THE NAME OF THE COMPANY THAT YOU WORK FOR, FELLOW SINGAPOREAN.

It's fine if you pop by for the occasional read, but I DO NOT appreciate stalkers, particularly if you're a mere stranger.

Thanks, and to the rest of the world, sorry about that. Feel free to drop by. I know this post is a hot fave. Just don't dig up the entire blog's history in a matter of minutes.

Thank you! =)
