I've seen her somewhere before...

As I walked along Broadway Avenue, a woman peaked my interest. I knew I had seen those brown eyes somewhere before. As I scanned my memory, nothing rang a bell.
Where had I seen this woman before? She was still on my mind when I reached my home fifteen minutes later.
The memory of those brown eyes gnawed at my mind for the rest of the day and on into the night causing me a fitful, restless sleep.
When dawn broke, I hopped out of bed and headed to the attic. I was on a mission. Had to find my old yearbooks, although no familiar names that I was able to pull from my memory matched the face that seemed to haunt me.
I've seen her somewhere before, I know I have.
Ah, there they are. My highschool yearbooks. Damn, no time. Gotta get to class. All the way to school, I could see this woman's big, round brown eyes surrounded by smooth, olive-toned skin. Her thin lips seemed to be saying a name that I just couldn't make out.
Finally in class I got a break from it, my mind preoccupied with work at last.
But alas, the moment class was over, she crept back into my mind. The entire drive back home she consumed my every thought.
Never before had I been bothered this much by someone's face. De jevu, I swear it.
Now I am asking YOU for your help.
In 20 words or more, please tell me your idea of where I have seen this woman...
It's YOUR move now, RUN with it!

You know who she was. You are just not really used to seeing her so openly and in the public. Not to worry - no one else saw her - it was just you. She has been your guardian throughout your lifetime. She has always been there and will remain there for you and you know that. She was not calling out a name, she was telling you to have more confidence in yourself. Take a deep breath, relax, do your studies as well as you can, be the best that you can, and then, once again, breathe and relax. In your dream-time, in your meditation-time, or in your stress-time (as you were having that day, she will come back. She will gently guide you. She will be there for you. It is up to you as to whether to listen to her or not ~Donna

Was she famous? Maybe you've seen her on a sitcom that failed or something like that...

since you have already got your answer I wanted to share my experience with you. I had the same dfeeling in one ladies meet that I had seen the lady standing a little away in another group somewhere. We had jsut come to deolali and shifted two days back in our accomodation. My hubby is in army so we keep meeting lot of people. When tea was announced, I gathered myself and went ahead and asked her, hello I have seen you somewhere, have we met? she replied I also am getting the sme feeling. we called out all the names of the places we have been to, cancelling each one, then suddenly her face lit up with an amused smile. she said I was your neighbour, she had moved out previous evening from my next door house to vacate it for the new comers. we had spent two days with each other saying hello in passing and we didn't recognised each other at the meet all dressed up, lol.

That is an interesting bit of irony.
At least your story was real. I was just trying to see who all had some imagination in here, lol.

Yep, better to be a people than a sheeple.
Gotta love that cat on your head, tho the poor thing appears to be starving.
...btw, how the heck does that poor thing stay up there with you dodging ashtrays and candleholders all the time?

She was an old friend of whom you knew when you were very young her Brown eyes are whatcaught your attention as when you were young that was her main feature you remember. The trouble is it was so long ago;) that you had forgotten about this long lost friend who had moved away all those years ago...
Try looking at your childhood photo's and you will see, she has changed all grown up but her eyes remain the same. Big brown sincere eyes that will last in your mind forever.
