If I was organized I'd have my friends birthdays. I know what my friends do but not specifics, I have a friend who's a bartender and I know his schedule but not the name of the bar he works at. I have a friend who's a packaging engineer and know some products he's worked on but not the name of the company. I have a friend who had a girlfriend, now fiance, and I didn't know her name for a long time. I had a friend who broke up and I didn't know for months. Why? Nobody told me these things. And largely, I don't ask, because both I don't want to pry and I'm probably going to forget anyways. It goes the other way as well-I have a friend who vents a lot to me about his family and I know how his parents have hurt him far better than they do.
