thank god for sms!
i’m only doing this because i promised to keep ya’ll posted…and also because, as you may have noticed, i enjoy gloating. 
i woke up around 8 am this morning, to find two messages in the inbox of my phone, from an unidentified number. it turns out they are from (drum roll…ta da) the relevant twin! one message just saying he wanted to say hi, and that he was texting from his brother’s phone due…to um…having lost his own, and the other actually (get this!) clarifying that i remember him! like, wtf?! despite the early morning grogginess (8 am is early ok…) i manage to absorb this information that was dropped on me like a pile of bricks. cautious of the fact that it could be one of my evil friends trying to get an early morning kick out of playing an evil trick on me, i message the friend that introduced me to the twins and ask her if the number does belong to the other twin. she tells me ‘yes it does! have fun!’. right. then i message a (mysterious) friend of mine, telling him about the messages and asking ‘i should reply right?’. he tells me, quite promptly, ‘just text the man men!’ thanks S/C (whichever one you want me to call you, you’re still the same you) for being so so so sensible to me! and i’m not talking only about this morning. anyway, so i do. reply him that is.
although the messages excited me in a very ‘teenage-girl’ manner, it more easily put that self satisfied, stuffed-cat grin on my face because i had some insight that this was coming.
thank god for sms! it doesnt have the potential for putting two people through their first few awkward silences like a phone call would, niether is it an entirely hasty, insensitive way of keeping in touch. it doesnt take with it too many underlying implications. its simple, fast and can be treated as something that isn’t that big a deal as it actually is. you can say ‘it was just an sms’ even if your insides are soaring. 
this is fun. i’m still impressed with myself that i’m feeling half giddy, but also half recognizably nonchalant. isn’t that cool?
er, as a recent arrival, i don’t know much about this twin saga, but aren’t you worried about the relevant twin or an acquaintance of his reading blogs?
