Keep in touch. Drop someone a call just for the heck of it or maybe you're planning on hooking up. Keep someone posted through text messages. Whatever the case Cell phones are amazing.
Instant Messaging. It's the way to go. It helps cure boredom most of the time though sometimes it only causes you to find yourself even more bored then you were before...
Practically everyone has one. If you don't you might just be a little behind the times. Great way to keep in touch. Go ahead and make one..I know you wanna.
