Yeh, so I have updated in a while. Well, quick update of what's happened lately: I got an erg! Other than that, there's nothing all that important. Now, on to the important stuff.
CNYMUN '05 was this past weekend. It was so incredibly amazing. I ended up representing Pakistan for the Security Council. I loved being on the Security Council, but it was weird not having veto power this time. Oh well.
Right from the beginning, France was getting really annoying and China kept acting like an ass. France could barely talk. Every time he got up to speak (which, of course, was like every other minute), no one on the committee could understand what he was saying. Also, he couldn't figure out what "permission to preface" meant. He ended up winning the "Most incorrect use of 'permission to preface'" award. China was also rather annoying. Unless Angola approved of something, he wouldn't agree. That kind of made things difficult, because China could veto anything.
Anyways, we started talking about trans-national crime, which we didn't get anywhere on. We got our crisis before we could come to any agreement on the issue, so we tabled it. After moving on to the crisis, I immediately started working on a working paper to solve the fact that a bunch of Christians had attacked the rightful, Muslim government of Sudan. We spent over 3 hours debating everything and didn't get anywhere. It ended up coming down to the working paper that Spain, Russia and I had worked on and the one UK and US had worked on. We adjourned for dinner with no solution.
Right after we came back, the UK and I quickly combined our working papers in to one grand resolution that Russia instantly decided to vote on. It was the first resolution we had put to voting procedures and passed unanimously. That's the first resolution I've ever seen pass unanimously, and it was mine!
Then we went back to trans-national crime. We managed to quickly create a working paper. To solve the crime, we created a new committee that we decided to name ITACO. We later tried to create sub-committees to this named ICHALUPA and ELNACHO, but those failed. It ended up giving us the nickname of the Taco Bell committee.
Not much else happened the next day until the crisis was solved, but Palestinians decided to attack Israel. Naturally, since they were Muslim and so was I, I took their side and insulted everyone. I verbally assaulted the US, the UK, Russia and Zionist Jews. I then created a resolution that basically gave Palestine their own country, independent from Israel.
In the last 5 minutes of the conference, which is always the time for pointless actions, I nuked India. I also managed to convince Germany to attack France. It was so funny.
I had such a great time there. It was definitely the best conference I've ever been to.
Almost forgot the quotes:
