Ingrid

This is who I was matched to... It is probably true... I am more quiet and sensative!

on the other hand, at times I can be very much a leader and assertive...

thanks for the fun post!

Well, you already know I'm Marilyn. This quiz was way too fun - and easy - and kinda weird for the accuracy (at least for me).

I always thought she was so cool (not in the modern sense of the word like teens use) but like Lauren Bacall type of coolness.

Did I ever tell you my boss's husband was a RC priest back in the day and was Grace Kelly and the Prince of Monaco's chaplain?

No, I'd not heard that, but do tell!

Janelle, I suspect I'm more of a loner than this implies, but then maybe I'm more of a loner in my head, as I'm often in my head.

Michelle, we've talked, I think being Katharine is very cool, she's very sassy.

I came closest to this same one, but I don't like some of these quizzes, because the explanation doesn't always take into account a little thing that is different here and there and I have a hard time choosing! Good thing its just for fun.
