Welcome
*grin*
Hello there. I don't believe we've met, have we? Nope, no sir, sure haven't. Well, it's a good thing you're here then, right? Right! Seems you've stumbled upon my pleasant little petpage, haven't you now?? Sure have! Haha, don't panic! I'm not crazy, just cheerful.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Zipd, and I'm just your average rainbow Lupe.. well, except for the fact that I'm a devout vegetarian! Hah, you probably think I'm crazy, don't know? A Lupe? Vegetarian?? It may seem a little weird to you, but that's how I like to live!
Well, since you're already here and all, why don't I show you around a bit...
This.. this is where I live! My home! My little cottage in the forest. Like? Yup, I know I do. My family helped with the building, but the planting.. all me! Did you know that I'm an excellent gardener? Just one of the many silly hobbies of mine. I spend most all of my time in my little cottage, playing, frolicking.. *sigh*... ... ... Well, don't just stand there looking dumb, guest! Please come inside! Sheesh!
About Zipd
Have a seat. It's time to learn about me. Oh gosh, so much fun, RIGHT?
My life is bright, bright, bright, and always looking up. I have no reason to be unhappy! It's true, I'll never understand where some find the time to worry, and dwell on small things, when the world is so beautiful. Just look around! Use your your eyes, keep them open, pay attention, don't miss out!

As you can probably see, my battledome stats aren't up here. Why, oh why, guest, would I want to purposely hurt pets, and have them hurt me back? What's with that, huh? Pretty dumb if you ask me!
About Vegetarianism
As you know, I have chose to lead a healthy, vegetarian lifestyle. Want to know more about this? Well, you're in the right section.
What is it?
Vegetarianism is simply the practice of not eating meat, fish, or poultry. Some may believe this diet is unhealthy, but the key is to eat a very wide variety of foods. This includes vegetables, grains, fruits, nuts, and usually egg and dairy products too! There are many reasons people - and pets - choose to be vegetarian: health benefits, dislike of meat.. or, like me, love of animals!
What are the benefits?
Oh, there are many benefits! Because we don't eat meat, a vegetarian diet is very low in fatty fat, and full of vitamins! This means a much lower change of heart disease and other bad things. So healthy, it is!
But, don't Lupes love meat? What is a vegetarian Lupe to eat??
Not all lupes love meat, you know! In fact, there are many healthy meat-free alternatives to the meaty lupe foods around Neopia. I've made a nice list to demonstrate what NOT to eat and what to eat instead as a vegetarian lupe:
 |
Do NOT eat: Meaty Lupe Treat. Ewww... who would want to eat this? It's all lumpy and yucky. |
 |
Alternative: Any other lupe treat. There are so many other delicious treats without the meat! Currently there are Gingerbread, Sugar Coated, Chocolate, and Minty Lupe treats. Yum. |
| Do NOT eat: Lupe Burger. Burgers are loaded with unhealthy fats and stuff. And for burger lovers, there's an alternative... |
 |
| Alternative: Vegetarian Cheeseburger. Just as delicious, and an excellent source of protein. |
 |
 |
Do NOT eat: Dried Lupe Snack. It's just a flat piece of dry, icky meat. Don't be lured in by the fun shape here. |
 |
Alternative: Chocolate Lupes. These cookies also come in many yummy flavors: Milk Chocolate, Mint, White Chocolate, and Orange Chocolate.. Mmm.. |
| Do NOT eat: Lupe Snack Pack. This mysterious bag is full of meaty chucks that came from who knows where. Trust me, there are better things to eat. |
 |
| Alternative: Seasoned Lupe Chips. This is perfect if you're in the mood for a nice snack. And just look how cool the box is! |
 |
 |
Do NOT eat: Meaty Caramel Lupe Cake. One of the worst meaty lupe items. Cake and meat do NOT mix. Yuck yuck yuck. |
 |
Alternative: Lupe Bone Cake. Looks like a bone surrounded in meat, but it's actually just cake! What a relief! |
| Do NOT eat: Meat Feast Omelette. Though it's not a lupe item, it is very popular among lupes and omelette lovers alike. |
 |
| Alternative: Veggie Delight Omelette. The perfect omelette for all vegetarians. With so many vegetables, it provides great nutritional benefits! |
 |
So, this should give you a pretty good idea of the kinds of foods to invest in. If you want even more ideas, I suggest you check out these healthy books:
Good luck! :)
More Likes
Flowers - As I mentioned before, I am an excellent gardener.. and flowers, well, they're my favorite thing to garden! I love to plant tons of differently shaped and colored flowers. They make my cottage home look very pretty.
Picnics - There is nothing I enjoy more than a nice picnic in the middle of a grassy summer day. Sometimes a family member or two will come and picnic with me, but if they're busy I don't mind going on one by myself!
Swimming - For a lupe, I'm a pretty good swimmer. My Nuranna and I go swimming all the time in cute little lakes like this one. Tee hee. See, there he is!
Apples - As a vegetarian, I love all fruits, and all vegetables as well. But, apples.. they are by far my most favorite food ever! They're just too sweet and crisp to resist. Delish.
Hmmm.. you might be wondering why there are no dislikes in this section. Haha, that's just part of my lifestyle, you see. Why focus on the bad things? There are just too many good things!
Friends & Family
I have a sort-of-large and very lovely family! Here is where you can learn about them :)
 |
Snowah
Snowah is a shy little bunny, but very kind and nice towards me. She spends most of her time buried in books. All that reading makes her very smart. I always turn to her for answers. |
 |
Lombic
Snow's twin brother, Lombic is also smart, but in a more cunning way. Probably because he is constantly training in the battledome. He's a very proud, yet very small little cybunny. |
 |
Telling
Telling is probably the family member I spend the most time with! Like me, he's happy and joyous and loves a good game of tag. When we're not playing, he's usually out and about flying around and gathering the delicious foods of Mystery Island.
|
 |
Kemb
Kemb is a young, lazy, carefree Lutari who spends every minute of the day in the water, swimming and exploring and dancing, over and over. Sometimes I'll try to swim with him, but he usually gets distracted by.. well, anything.
|
 |
Pentix
Pentix is a soft brown ixi who is very focused on looking pretty, acting sophisticated, and having good table manners. I like how polite she is, but sometimes the obsession can get just a little annoying! Just a little!
|
 |
Toashy
Umm. I'm not so sure about Toashy. He was born a very long time ago, yet very small. I hardly ever hear him talk, and when he does, it's usually weird things like "Mmm..Muhh.." Yeah. I think too much sea has made him a little loopy.

Anyone who stays long enough (or, um, scrolls down far enough) gets to pick their own special gift to take home with them. You know, to remind them of this place, I guess! go on and choose whatever you'd like!
Some extra notes:
1) I'm pretty generous to give you gifts. So please be generous back, and don't edit the picture or change the code! And don't claim these as your own either. Cause they're not.
2) These are all 50 x 50, so they're look extra great on your quiltie dealie.
