When I saw the movie upon its release (I was in college in Austin), I turned to my roommate, and said, "I KNOW this girl," refering to the aMAZingly beautiful Sean Young.
"What else do you think you saw her in?"
"I don't know; I can't think of any movies. I just feel like I KNOW her!"

Jump ahead a couple of years to a party in Houston, where I run into this darling boy on whom I'd had the biggest (unrequited)crush when I went to Interlochen Arts Academy for a month-long program during high school (GREAT arms!). I'd spent a heavenly, frozen month there (it was January in northern Michigan!) - pure delight for an artsy girl like me then. Randall was a sophomore dance major there; I hung out with him and his senior girlfriend most, despite my doing more the singing/acting/art thing (jack-of-all-trades 'cept ballet). At the party, he excitedly asks me, "Did you hear about Sean (the old girlfriend)?!"
"No, what?"
"She's this big movie star now; she was in Stripes and Bladerunner, and there's a big spread on her in Vogue this month!!"

It didn't even click about the Bladerunner deja vu thing 'til I told my no-longer roommate about the chance meeting, until she reminded me, "You TOLD me you felt like you knew that robot girl!"

She really was a ball to hang out with. My fondest memory was cracking her up with my satire of a modern ballet, danced in the basement of our dorm.

No, we didn't keep up...although I DID get to finally go out with Randall!!
