Heh. Oops.

So a closer look at the website reveals that they don't actually take faxed registration forms. It has to be done by mail.

So, I've filled out a clean form, and I'm going to write a nice cover letter begging them to let me join up. ("Jine up! Jine up! Line up and jine the cavalry!" Ahem.) Then I'm going to swing by the parental units' place this evening before going to my dance class, grab a copy of my degree (yes, we have spare photocopies of everything), shove that and a check in the envelope which I've just prepared, dump the whole thing in a mailbox and not think about it anymore.

:::ETA:::

Holy shit, but my flakedom knows no bounds! Either they've changed the dates on me (entirely possible), or else I massively misread the website (also entirely possible). There are two classes being given for emergency dispatch, but they're both in February.

I really, really hope there's still room...

*runs off to send in application form*

So. Is it gone yet?

There will be a post soon revealing my blistering stupidity. It's not gone yet because I left the envelope at my dance club. So it will go in the mail tonight.

*sigh*

I hate my subconscious mind.

I'm glad to hear your conscious mind is determined, though. I'm proud of you.

Thank you. I'm damned well going to get the reminder tattooed on my forehead if I have to. This is getting ridiculous. :P

You did mention a tendency to forget things in the darkandcold times of year, yes? So it's not necessarily all the Shithead.

Oh, my short-term memory is shit most of the time. Have you noticed I can never remember our set list no matter how often we play?

I lost a lot of short-term memory capacity about four years ago and never really regained it. Such is the price of being teh crazy and taking anticonvulsants to keep myself sane.

I've found ways around it, mind you. I post reminders to myself by email, I write things down obsessively, etc. However, there are always things that slip through the cracks, which annoys me to no end.

I used to have an incredible memory. I had my schedules memorized for months ahead, I knew everyone's phone numbers, and I had no trouble making last-minute mental changes. It's incredibly frustrating to not be able to do that anymore.

Oh well. What can you do?
