I have many intelligent friends. When you put us together, we can do amazing things - things like winning the Tower Hotel Hawthorn Weekly Trivia Championship. And this is just what we did when we converged on the hotel last Tuesday for my belated birthday dinner.

Each person in my life knows me differently. Each has their own slant on who I am, based on how long they've known me, and in what sort of circumstances we've associated with one another.

For my birthday trivia dinner, I asked each person in attendance - my closest friends and family - to answer the following question about myself: "what does Nicole want to be when she grows up?". The answers were all brilliant, but no-one immediately wrote down the answer that I had in my head. However, each response was nonetheless about me - about the things that I love, who I am, who I've been, and where I might be headed.

I love every single response.

There were two basic categories for the responses. Some were about my obsessions; the things that I love or have loved, and the ideals and values that I hold close.

And then, of course, there were the attempts at humour.

By the way, my answer was forensic scientist. Who wouldn't want to use a gas chromatograph all day long?
