I can remember things only about really close friends, not that I've had many throughout my life. I've had three close girlfriends and two men I've been romantically involved with and I can recall just about everything about them. The one thing I can't remember about many people, including immediate family members, are birthdays or significant dates connected to them. Dates just don't stick in my brain so I'll probably be the one who forgets my wedding anniversery after I get married.
