I suck at names, dates, and numbers. I can meet you, and almost instantly forget your name. It took me almost a year and a half to learn my own cell phone number. I don't take hints. I have a terrible sense of direction. Unless its a drastic change, don't expect me to notice you've done something to your hair. Bear in mind, my idea of drastic is likely different from yours.

So yeah. Don't expect me to remember birthdays or anniversaries.

But, when I do remember those... that's an achievement in and of itself.
