MERRY CHRISTMAS AGAIN! 1 year without updates. Whoops! I feel bad for neglecting this place. I promise that 2008 will bring new content and fancier things. :D

Merry Christmas!
New layout. ;D
12.11.06
I LIVE!
Sorry about the inactivity. I quit my job at Gamestop and now work at a local hospital as an Emergency Room admissions rep. I am also finishing out my first semester of college.
Wishing-Star.Net was killed by the crappiest webservice in the land, E-Starr.com. They cancelled my hosting plan [as per my request] but didn't let me keep the domain name wishing-star.net itself. I was forced to buy a new domain [orchidia.org] but I am still beyond peeved that they kept ws.net. Don't ever get one of their plans. Their customer service is severely lacking, and they cost a lot for a shittily small amount of space.

New layout. Still writing up all information for KH2. Working on media section for KH2. :)
9.10.06
OKAY. I'm here. Sorry about the lack of activity [even though it was promised I'd post/work on new things]. I started college and even though I only go for 3 days a week, my schoolwork eats up my time. 4/5 of my classes are art ones, and I can't just knock out the assignments like I would a written paper. My homework takes time now; lots and lots of time. :(
Once I get off from work tonight, I'm going to compose a new layout, add screencaps, and do a lot of stuff I should have knocked out during the summer. I guess you could call this a revamp? The site will remain open at all times during said updates. :)
8.24.06
I've begun to get the sections ready for the KH2 stuff I have to add. I TOLD YOU I WAS GOING TO ADD THIS STUFF. XD;
I'm in the process of rewriting the older KH essays. They're outdated and don't do our beloved Riku justice.
Also, Neopets users, it would make me really happy if you guys would stop using my wallpapers as your pet's homepage background. They're for your desktop, not for your website. :P Unless you wanna give credit, please remove them!
8.22.06
Huzzah! I finally updated! I'm trying to get KH2 info up here before next week since I'm starting college as a Fine Arts major then. :D I'll be seriously crunched for time, so I hope you guys won't mind if the updates aren't as frequent and massive as they used to be. :D;
I hope I learn some awesome new photoshop tricks in my art classes, so maybe I can make one of those totally awesome vector layouts. XD
7.15.06
Yay! New crappy layout! Sorry if it looks like shit on 800x600. It is kinda hard to make layouts for a resolution that is rather tiny compared to one's own. Mine is at 1280x1024. :3;;
I also did a minor affiliate cut. They were removed due to inactivity, loss of contact, or no longer being there. The usual reasons, you know?
7.13.06
Sorry for the lack of updates. While my summer has started I've been rather busy. However, I am going to find free time for this shrine within the next couple of days and I will be making a new layout/adding new sections.
Updated minor things around the site (url changes/button replacements). Big things'll come later. :)
5.17.06
Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of updates! I'm a senior in high school right now, so I've been busy figuring out college, and trying to graduate! :) That, and I work a lot. Actually, I'm posting this update before I leave for work!
2 new affiliates! Nixxy's Sora shrine, and Ivanna's Riku shrine are to sites you'll want to visit! :) Check them out!
4.10.06
New KH2 art posted in the media section. Look under the official stuff. :)
I'm almost done with KH2. Lemme tell ya, I liked the first game more. This one doesn't have much of a storyline. I wish Squenix would end the series already. I NEED SOME CLOSURE, DAMNIT.
3.28.06
YAY FOR KH2 BEING RELEASED TODAY. Well, for my work we're releasing it tomorrow, but still. Some people got it today!
I've been working at a Gamestop, and I couldn't believe how many reserves we got for the game. Not only that, but for the limited edition strategy guide. I'm one of the many who placed a few dollars down on copies of those because I so need them. >:D
Sorry for not updating. I'm working 5 days a week, so as soon as I get home from school I'm shipped off to work. But work is awesome. Working at Gamestop is a pretty sweet job.
Did you know that I got over 100 hits today? Shocked me. :o Perhaps with the release of KH2 there will be more awesome shrines out there! Yay!
3.5.06
I've caught 3 people using a layout from here in just TWO days. You know what's sad? They're ALL on xanga, and they're ALL taking credit for my work. Not only that, but some of them are actually taking credit for THIS shrine and saying that Kuuriku is THEIR nickname.
Pathetic little bitches.
Forgive me for using harsh words, but did they think they'd actually get off easy if I caught them? Are they really that dull? Didn't their Mother ever teach them to not take what wasn't theirs? Obviously they must've been raised under a rock to think that stealing goes unpunished.
Makes me want to beat someone up. Seriously.
2.26.06
Woo! So I'm back. Again.
New shiny layout featuring a screencap from KH2. I know, its a spoiler. OH WELL. Again, I'm paying for this domain, so I can do whatever I damn well please with the images placed onto this site. >:D ANYWAY. Enjoy.
1.25.06
New layout. Very white. Sorry if it hurts your eyes. ^^;
I'll be posting FMV caps this weekend. I'll finally have some time on my hands. HOORAY! I slaved over my laptop for hours trying to get perfect screencaps. After completing my set, someone else did a better one. DANGIT. D:
12.25.05
MERRY CHRISTMAS. Shrine has been reopened and ready to update. Layout features KH2 Riku. HURRAH. Isn't he a babe? ;)
12.24.05
Shortly after splitting the site in two I realized it was a BAD idea. So I've merged everything together, and have cleaned up all the sections a bit. I capped the ENTIRE FMV ending for KH2, and I've also capped the KH2 intro.
Aren't I great? ;)
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE!
12.19.05
With KH2 just around the corner, I made a portal to lead visitors to different halves of Utter Silence. This half will no longer be updated with information, just media. The other half will be updated with information on Kingdom Hearts 2 and whatnot. :D Yay! Organization at last!
Happy Holidays everyone! Thanks for over 36,000 hits!
12.5.05
The newest KH2 trailer shows a clip of Riku. Are you excited? I am. :D
11.21.05
Two updates within two days. Holy crap. ANYWAY. A large chunk of my affiliates list has died. Therefore, affiliation is TOTALLY open. I still reserve the right to say no, though.
KH:CoM sections are on the way! Not only that, but I'll be posting the lyrics to the KH2 theme song, and I'll hopefully be covering KH2 Riku-related material as it comes out.
11.20.05
I LIVEEEEE.
New layout for this thing. -blows dust off of shrine- Sorry about being painfully inactive all over w-snet, but school is being a bitch. That, and I am working on my portfolios for college and whatnot. Ouch. Never thought I'd be saying that here. I feel like an old fart.
Interested in affiliating with this shrine? EMAIL ME AND TELL ME SO. ^^;
Do you have a livejournal? If so, go join Rikufans! It is a small community on livejournal dedicated solely to the one and only Riku. I do believe it is the first one just for him. -feels powerful- I know. That was TOTALLY SHAMELESS PROMOTION on my part. Oh well. ^^;
9.24.05
Contrary to popular belief, I am not dead.
This new layout KILLED ME. So many things went wrong when the image was already done with. It originally had less of a boring background, it was larger, etc. I tried to make it compatible with 800x600, but I'm afraid that some of it WILL be cut off. I really do apologize for that.
In other news, school has started. WOOOO. Last year of highschool for Kuu. >:D FEAR ME. But yeah. Since it is my senior year and all, I doubt I will update all that often. When KH2 comes out, however, I can guarantee that I'll be updating this thing like crazy.
8.5.05
The last layout sucked. New one.
8.1.05
I LIVE.
I am aware that I haven't updated this thing in a while, but that doesn't mean I'm not here. I didn't feel like making layouts or anything.
NOTICE: I am so close to taking down the animated gifs. Gaia used to be my main problem with direct-linking, but now Neopets is the newest annoyance for Kuu. YOU MAY NOT USE THE ANIMATIONS IN YOUR GUILDS IF YOU ARE GOING TO DIRECT-LINK FROM HERE. You're all really lucky that I haven't replaced the images with something vulgar. STOP ALREADY.
