Some of you already know it, the others may got clues as I was more away than present in the recent time.
This whole year has appeared to be quite the tough one for me. I've had agued with my family about certain decisions both parties want to take, I've had serious problems at work and lots of recurring stuff that won't let me breath.

Let's neaten up.

This year began with a pretty much depressive mood due last year's events and it was slowly getting worse. My bosses were treating me like a rug, from years they made me work with contracts at the limit of legality and even when they couldn't keep sign those contracts, they still did. Of course you have a choise: sign up, or leave. This year the contract was fairly good, the first after many that gave me the minumun guarantees and set the minumun salary I can take. (I'm thankful for the latest job act our government did.) Even so, they tried to push me over.
I am supposed to work for only a limited time during the week, not a full time, but the amount of work is the one of a full's, so it's easy to find oneself working overtime in order to finish everything. And even if they keep blaming there's no work (it's 10 years they pretend to say we are without work), I find myself quickly work overtime with the lever of "if you don't finish in time, the whole company gonna miss money for the consign". But that's ok, you pay me for the overtime, right? No!
All the time spent working, where you build more and more overtime throughout the months, lead me to have stressful periods, and I couldn't even relax at home because at home I have other problems as well.
Without going in depths, with the help of my boyfriend I worked around this bad behavior and now I'm feeling ok once again.

What's the matter with home? Basically we want our indipendence, I want to live by myself. This house was at the center of a debat with my family where they tried to have the rights upon me despite I'm the one living in here, the one who pays for it and nobody but me and my boyfriend use it. There are also other problematic facts I'm not going to tell, not because I want you all see me like the "oooh poor guy, the whole world is against him", but only because the reason of this is to say you I can't vent and let stress go even at home.
That's it until few weeks ago.

Things changed again, my mother came to pick up her furniture a week ago, leaving my house without a bunch of them and all stuff they were holding scattered on the floor. We took the occasion to paint the walls and remove humidity (some parts of the walls behind the furniture were green). Plus we are changing telephone operator, our car needs repairment and we are in the middle of a big expansive contraction with the lawer to sort other stuff.

Accordingly to our shifts, which are barely corresponding, we slowly proceed to make the house better and our lifes better, between a shift and the next. I barely managed to scratch the od paint from the wall when the day after, at work, they said they need to send someone to work for two months far away. Ok, it's Genoa, but it's still 150 km. I'm supposed to work mon-fri and stay there, returning home only during the weekends.
It's useless to say that all the works I'm doing home will be slipped forward until the beginning of November if things are going to be ok. This just... adds to the stress.

I don't know if there I could easily connect on the web, meet and speak with you. I was pretty much idle until now, but from the beginning of the next week, when I'm going to move, I'd be barely reachable.
I also haven't uploaded any of the pics I got from the past Eurfurence, neither all the photo I took there that some of you are expecting. I'm sorry, I'll try to upload as soon as I could but in this last week I have to organize my life for the following months... when I'm not working.

It's gonna be a whole lot of new stress, but I'll work on it. After all I'm the strongest Yoshi ever, right? So... have faith. I'll be successful!

Alright, after returning home and took a couple of days to settle things down I'm back to the normal daily routine.
Oddly I feel like writing things down.

This is my second Eurofurence, already have been at the last year's one, but this year's was indeed the greatest of the two.
Though I went there with a bunch of my friends, there I met other great friends that made my days there all the better. Well, actually I didn't have much luck in the first day: given enough time to settle comfy in the hotel room, registrate for the con and look around to see what's new on this year and which interesting panels to attend.
Throughtout the week I met up with  kaomoroart and his friends, he gave me this wonderful badge; and with it hanging on my neck we went around, hugged so many cute fursuiters and make everyone jealous of my badge, mhahaha!! >:3
There I even met  Artic1010, another long time friend that helped me to browse and look for things (hey, it's not Anthrocon but it's a huge con), with him and Kaomoro we did a collective commission from  drgnalexia who I was positively surprised to see him here with his buddy  hirohusky. They were in furstuit as well and I couldn't help but give them both a good big hug, hehe.

During the days there I had eventually the occasion to meet for the first time in real life one of my old long time friends whom recently gave me a birthday gift right before flying to the convention:  Elia88. He is sweet and loving, but due the short time and too much things to do, we didn't have much occasions to stay together, but indeed all the time spent in his company was well worth. ^w^
Another great friend from old times must be named, because he is cool, and he is great, and his friendship is durable and tough like my muscles: he is  notveryathletic who was fursuiting as Titan this year. It was great to meet you Tempest!

What else? Oh, of course I met up with an old friend of mine  Manthomex, whom I happily spent some time speaking about different topics, some more silly than others like trying to see what creature could be some of the most famous actors on the scene if they would be furries. Differently from last years, this time we didn't get the time to take a drink at the bar, I'm sorry Manthomex, we'll make it up next year. However, thanks to you I had the change to meet two of the best muscle-artists I follow, or better, lurk, because I'm too shy you know... >///< Them are  Furry and  RedSilver; and Red surprised me with a gift! He snatched me from the crowd of people browsing around the Dealers' Den to give me this simple sketch, but wow... he left me completely speachless with manga-style sparkling eyes. Thank you so much Red!

Oh, I also had the change to share a big hug, as well as a bunch of talks, with  Gideon. He is a great buddy, but don't bet with him. *wink-winks and nudges at him* And yeah, he stole me some money, but got a picture for me and my big little brother  Yoshils. If I ever have the change to visit US, you two are on the list of those I wish to pay a visit.

Last but not least I had the occasion to meet another good couple of friends: Rabby and Scorry . Sadly we didn't have much time to spend together, but conventions are always so busy with so much things to do. Next time more hugs for you two!

Of course there are still lots of people to mention, like  Drachetto who is just a stomp-lover and such a show-off, if he spots your camera for sure he will try to get your attention to get a shot. But hey, every fursuiter acts this way, isn't it?
I guess it's all. If I missed someone I'm sorry but there were so many people there that I couldn't remember everyone. All the pictures I have mentioned above will be uploaded in the following days, I'm sorry but I have to flee now. A big hug to everybody!

As I said in the previous journal of six months ago (!) I'm going to my first very furry convention. Living oversea and being an European despite most of you in the Americas, the convention I'm speaking about is the Eurofurence, held in Berlin.
Since I'm going to attend it I'll be offline from 18th to 24th of August, I'm gonna take my time to visit Berlin as well, people whos were there in past told me it is quite a tidy and nice busy metropolis.

Back to us, if some of you reading is going to attend Eurofurence as well, and maybe wish to meet this silly Yoshi, you can find me because of this badge I'll wear.
Also, according to my personal clothing stocks, I may wear a shirt with this pic painted on.

That's all I guess.
Cya,
- Isy

Oddly enough I'm going there this year.
Maybe I'll meet someone to hug for real.

A big green Dino makes a ruffle, let's see if this big green dino Yoshi can sneak out something with him.
Green calls green, right? http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5061128/

That's it!

I'm the BIGGEST and STRONGEST Yoshi EVER!

Hatchday.

This Sunday I will turn 25, hopefully I and my friends will celebrate it.

Because nobody read them.

Oh right, I thank everyone who had watched me or favved something. Sometimes it's hard to keep things under track but I don't ignore you if this is the feeling you got.

One last thing...
GROW!

That I finally am done with all the work.

These last two weeks were very busy weeks for me, full of work. *sighs* -.-
I did about 29 hours of overtime in just two weeks, thankfully all what was supposed to do got done and just in time for me to get some holidays. It was all like: go to work, get home for dinner and than sleep, wake up, go to work, and repeat over and over. Only in Sundays I was free, well free from work because without work you have to do all the things not concerning with your job.

That's also the main reason why I never went to thank and hug all the ones here who watched, or faved my pics, but I thank you all right now here: thanks.
And also I get the occasion to thank you all in advance for eventual faves and new watch for the new pic you find in my gallery.

Soon will be my hatchday, happy birthday to me and from now on I have three long weeks of summer vacations. I don't know what I will do but I only wish to get some relax in order to get rid of all the stress I've received from these weeks, the ones who know me know well that I'm not the type of guy who keeps blaming and complaining, but this time I'm totally worn out.

One of those events who doesn't happen very often, but you can't tell if this could be the first of many.

One certain mouse Pokémon, whos name is  Sparky_the_chu, went here in Milan to take part on a comic convention/expo and we took the opportunity to finally meet each other in real.
So on Friday's evening, once out of office, I drove right to our common friend  Zephir's place and there I met Sparky who was already settled since he came during the afternoon.
And I was commissioned even to give Sparky some hugs from some common friends new here on this website, so in total I had to give: a hug from his master, a hug from a little micro, a hug from another Yoshi, and finally my present for his birthday, a nice green shirt with Paper Bower drew in the front. You should had see his face glowing all happy with happy sparks from his red cheeks once he opened his gift. ^_^
In the evening we spent a nice time together getting each other knowing better and I learnt new things about this and that, Japan, animes and manga. And for my first time I could had a taste about Japanese dishes, yeah I never ate Japanese.
The day after (Saturday), we went at the expo and it was a huge dome fulls of stands with everything, from old classic comics like the firsts numbers of Mikey Mouse or Tex, from the newest things about to being released like the Nintendo 3DS which I also tried. I must say the effect of deepth and the graphic 3D is amazing. Can't wait to have one soon too.
And well, basically we were at the expo the whole day, we also had a taste of what Zephir cooked for us, and trust me he is a wonderful cooker, everything we ate was so delicious! Once back his home we spent some more time, eating dinner and he even prepared a pie!! In the shape of a big donut. :p
That night was a long night indeed, around 3 or so we decided to go to sleep so I hugged Sparky and Zephir tight and left for my home.

And now I'm here, back home, writing this journal the morning after, while Sparky is on his train back to his own home, or maybe just grew macro and playing with the train while stepping and randomly rampaging a city or two, I dunno. Even if you don't like to rampage is hard to avoid such tiny things like buildings when you are big. Hehe.

Anyway, thanks Tiggy Zephir for let me meet Sparky and stay your home for the time being, for your delicious plates and for your friendship who will never stop. And thanks to you Sparky for have gifted me with a wonderful week-end I'm sure will hardly forget. *hugs both tight* ^.^

Some good and some bad news, as usual.

First the good ones.
Once I got back from my short vacation in England I met my wolfy boyfriend and with him I pratically spent what last of the holidays meeting other furry friends here and there. Basically all went like was planned and explained in the previous journal. Happy things and stuff I sure can't complain. Spent wonderful days with my beloved wolf boyfriend and met several furry friends, some of them I already known, some others totally new.

Now we are in the current times. A walled water pipe behind my kitchen had became rotten and drools from the wall. In order to repair the fall I must change the whole pipe since it is all rotten and this means demolishing the part of the wall it is into and go with the change. First price I heard was about 1,000 € to do the repairation. After some strugglings, calls here and there, trying to avoid the expansing stuff I managed eventually to save up on most of the price and thanks to my family plumber, which is an onest worker, he took away just a little more of 100 € (maybe he missed a zero?). I have to invite him for a dinner one of these days.
My uncle, being an andy-man worker, will fill the hole and repair the wall like new, of course with me helping him.

*sighs* Huff... this weekend I'm going at the Lucca Comics, I hope to relax myself some in those 2 days. This second job is exausting me.

Oh, I didn't say anything about it. Basically I took a second job to argue the outcomes with a little more incomes I really need, since now and then I could have something else, this time I was lucky with the pipe thing but next time? I don't know how I could face the next thing if I don't have enough money.
So I'm very sorry if these days I'm not much active or online or able to speak or play with all of you. My days are completely full in this period, at least until this second job is over and trust me when I say I wanna sleep but can't! >.<

Alright, it's time for me to type another journal.
And this time I'll say where I am going to go for my Summer holidays.

This week (Aug 2nd-6th) will be my last week of work, and it is sure the longest, not much because it's the last one but because I'm working 12 hours per day instead of the usual 8. Reason? Too much work and so few people to do it, and thankfully we are in a crisis. Don't ask me why. -.-

Well, after this week on Saturday 7th I'll take my first ever flight and for the first time I'll go foreign, in the old United Kingdom, to visit a good friend of mine  omega-warior. I can't hide I'm a little shaking for the journey: it will be my first time going away from the place I live and plus, using an airplane too. >.<

Anyway, I'll spend 10 days in London, hoping to visit and see many many things and meet many friends there. ^_^ I'll come back on 17th during the afternoon, and in that evening I must be at the Milan Central Station because I must take another friend, my boyfriend! (^o^)
We are going to spend together what remains of the month, but 18th, 19th and 20th will be full days, tiring maybe but hopefully pretty enjoyable.
On the 19th  Bryan88 will come and see us, to meet my boy, same day even a cat coming from far and bringing other furry friends will see me and my boy and I hope to be ready and organize a nice party-like day.
Instead at the dawn of the 19th, me and my boy will make a long journey by car to reach other two friends, the first is  dracostreex whom managed to visit  whippet, whom is the second furry friend; we are going to stay there for two days long, hopefully and if everything go well and return home on 20th once Draco had took his flight back home.

Last but not least, the following days should be nice and relaxing days, but of course we got the unexpected: a friend has invited us already in his nice home somewhere in the suburbs of Turin. Not to mention a return from the coguar at the end of the month. :p

Alright, this is gonna be a long summer for me, or maybe a short one, if it too much enjoyable. Sure enough I'm going to travel around like I never did and this time yes, I'm going to hug so many many furries! >.<

Stay big and take care you all, wish you all a nice holiday and may you will be relaxed for the return of school/work in September.

I realized I didn't say anything in quite a while, sure I'm not the journal type of fur around here.
So hmm... where to start?

Let's travel a year back in time: last summer, where I had received the visit of a good friend of mine,  omega-warior. The time spent with him was pretty nice and enjoyable, I have promised him to pay a visit back at his place, which I payed the flight for already.

Once those 2 weeks he was here I went in Turin to spent my last week or holidays by  bryan88. Nice days indeed where he also had a crap on his arm by playing too much Wario Ware Wii (must hold those games away from his range).

Holidays away and works beings once again.
Every day is looking like everyone else, with no exception, except some weekends where I can see a couple of my friends which we grew on each other.

Around the first days of December I got the occasion of a four days weekend to go to visit another good fox friend down in Rome, there I took the occasion to snap some photos which I promised to upload in the gallery but still hadn't did that, the only photo I uploaded was the one I used for the meme. hehe
Anyway the time in Rome went away pretty quikckly and, like I excpected, wasn't enough to see the whole Eternal City. Anyway if you would like to see the photo I did of the city, just say me. ^^

Between this and that, ups and downs, we quickly arrives at our days, where my two close friends of our weekends had gifted me with a PlayStation 3. o_O
I can't believe it, it is so expansive... and it was all unexpected, no birthday or some recurrences... just that, an evening Friday like anyone else... I guess is because I'm a good friend, so that's what you receive if you are a good friend. Now I'm feeling in duty more than beofore with them, more than ever!

Other few things: this weekend, for Easter, I'm going to visit my mother down in Tuscany.
And the last thing I can say you is... *blushes* Well... over an Italian furry website we all wish good to each other but there is one wolf who had a crush on me and I think I have a crush on him too... So we are going to meet each other for the first time at the end of April in Florence, I can already image the scene: me arriving at the Florence Saint Mary Novel station, stepping down the train and see my wolfy at the end of the tracks with a big nervous smile on his face and his arms opened wide, than me rushing all the platform dividing us and pouncing him onto his chest!! >.<

Mrawr!!!

I wanna a boyfriend!
Feeling so alone...

For all my watchers I wish a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Wish it even for all others whom aren't my watchers, hehe.

I'm going to spend few days with my uncles, and when I'm back maybe I'll get in the mood to type something which happened in this month.

I'm off, cya later at all of you!

*giant-big-muscley-hugs you all, holding every of you between his arms in his warm embrace*

I have two news, one good, one not.

The good one is about my mood, I spoke with a good friend of mine and with his help I cheered up very good and am not down anymore.

Until this evening, when my sata hard disk decided to die. Yeah, 12 years of datas and such all dead. A friend of mine (not the same as the previous) gave me a spark of hope and maybe I could recover all my datas, hopefully. But I don't believe much in this.
The same friend lend me this other HD which I'm using right now for a temporary situation, until I could have a proper working HD back again.
I just installed Win XP pro 2 again, it's 11:46 pm and just finished to install all drives of my motherboard and graphic card. I'm kinda tired but I don't wanna stay away from all my friends here.
I have to think about something about this: having online friends is nice but with just a little and you could loose them all, a not working PC or router operator for example... Meh...

Anyway, the Yoshi is back, I'll find a way to recover all my datas, in a way or another. Wish me luck guys!

What's happening!?
Why are appearing mates and boyfriends all around me like mushroom in the forest after a rain?
Why are them slowly ignoing me until to not be my friends anymore but a nuisance?
Why I'm feeling so alone...? *sighs*

I feel like the only odd one in a world full of mated people....
Am I that bad? I just ask for friends, but after they get mated... they seems don't have the time neither for a talk every so often.

It hurts to know you are a niusance for the ones you were a close friend the day before they got mated, now I just receive news from friends whom got their boy/girlfriend, heck I am very happy for them but in the other side I am deeply sad, freaked I could lose them too... because it happened already...

At first he says "call me later, I'm body with my BF", even if he happear along his mate and disappear with him; but after some time he starded to say "you have became a nuisance, can't you understand I wanna spend time with my BF?" And I just tried to speak a time or two in a whole week or even a month... -.-
Sorry, the fact I still consider him as a good friend of mine and I can't leave him, because I trust him deeply and respect him so much, plus he helped tons of time in past, before he got his mate and before this change.

Sory, I'm getting out the plot.
The fact is... I'm feeling like abandoned, this thing is going on since some months now, I though it was just a brief feeling, because I really am not the guy who cares this type of things, but I was wrong and... *sighs* Well... dunno...
I don't know either why I'm typing all of this, maybe I just have to let out my stress...

You all have a good day with your mate.
Sorry for the yell.

I don't know what's happening to me.
A little by little I keep feeling more sad each passing day...

I dunno but...maybe I need somebody here with me... somebody to stay with, a partner...
I am feeling so terrible alone recently... *sighs*

Yeah, I'm back.
Back from three days in Turin. I stayed with other 4 friends at our common friend's house, the trip was a little long but it worthed.
We had out times of fun, played games, chatted, and our common friend bring us at Turin's downtown to see the beautys of the city. Looking at those royal buildings you really realize in past it was the capitol city.

hehe however, now I'm here again. All available to be snuggled and cuddled in the way you all know. ^_^

*hugs you all tight between my giant big arms* Mmmrrr.......

The closest to me already know this, but for the one I couldn't contact personally for a reason or another and for every other of you here who wonder about this big Yoshi I tell you all I'm going out for some days, four or five...
Some of you already told me how you care for me, and I thank you a lot for this. *hugs tight* ^^

Anyway, I'm going to visit a friend of mine, where even other guys joined his invite, and guess what, them are all furries so we can call this more like a "furry meeting" or so, even if we'll be very few: 7 people. hehe But I don't mind this. I like more when there are less people but more good then tons of people around.

This will be my last piece of vacation before I get back to my usual working routine, it must end good!

Thanks again for everybody and for your support. Post your shouts / thoughts here, I'll read 'em once I get back home.

Cya, and happy holidays, at whom are still on, at whom are still to go, at even whom are already back because I realized I never told a "happy holidays" before this year.

Crap, I could never image to have so much watchers around here.

Oh my... I just changed my avatart; before, when I had the Yoshi egg, I wasn't this watched, but after I changed the avi all of a suddent tons of people started to watch me every day.

Just thank you to all of you, really.
A big big big huge muscle hug to all of you! *grows enormous and envelops you all in once between his buff arms, squishing you all agaisnt his wide chest* ^____^

It's my birthday, but since I was hatched from an egg, this is a hatchday. hehe
Anyway, I am one year older now.

Yep, these days this meme can be found here and there, so I thought "why don't post it too?"

1) Who are you?
2) Are we friends?
3) When and how did we meet?
4) Would you kiss me?
5) Give me a nickname and explain why.
6) Describe me in 1 word.
7) What was your first impression of me?
8) Do you still think the same?
9) What reminds you of me?
10) If you could give me anything, what would it be?
11) How well do you know me?
12) Are you gonna put this in your journal and see what I say about you?
13) Would you meet up with me?

I saw this on the journal of my friend, so I tried it out and this is all what I got:

Seems I scored as The all-round cute gay guy.

"You are a cute guy who many would die to be with..........lucky!!"

The all-round cute gay guy -> 70%
A Big Bear -> 50%
Straight -> 40%
Raging Queer -> 30%
Straight Acting -> 20%
Straight Queer Basher -> 10%
S + M guy -> 0%

Meep, I didn't think I could be so cute... ^^'
