Getting to know...

Carlo P. Loredo aka CAHlo
Vitals: Met in 1982 in kindergarten. It used to take Carlo’s mom forever to leave because he SO didn’t want to be left at school. He totally used to cry = 22 years and counting
Role In My Life: Quiet But Ever-Present Friend = We punk Carlo a lot for being so quiet and reserved, and he’s such a good sport about it. We often wonder what’s going through his mind because he seldom, if EVER, speaks. Being a person of so few words, he’s the friend who lets his actions do the talking. If you need him to be somewhere to watch you graduate, leave the country, or just have coffee, he’ll be there.
Good Times: When we were in the 8th grade, we were assigned to write an ORIGINAL short story to read out loud in reading class the next day. I worked mighty hard on that story about a girl recounting a drug overdose, realizing at the end of the story that she was the girl who o-d'ed. Anyhow, after a few of us had had our turns, Carlo was up to read his story. Here’s a little taste. This isn’t verbatim but it’s close: “Roman had been gone for so long that Marlena had forgotten what her own husband looked like. Seeing the man who had stood beside her all these years, she realized that this was not the Roman she had married, but a man named John Black.” When Carlo was reading, in my head I was like, “What the hell man! That’s from DAYS OF OUR LIVES!” Yes people, Carlo, during our junior high years, was so obsessed with DAYS OF OUR LIVES he incorporated it on a reading assignment!
In his own words: “Dickdude, I dunno though…really though?”
