Brush with fame?

It's not often that I'm watching the History Channel and see someone I know personally. In this case, Michelle Thaller was on The Universe: Milky Way in several segments, looking pretty damn good given that it's been almost 20 years since I last saw her back in high school. We were friends in kindergarten, then went to separate schools until high school...I had such a hopeless (because she was dating a guy three years older than me) thing for her in high school, sigh.
