11:45 am - boy, why you tripping like that? you think 'cause you're tricking you get it just like that?
Congratulations!
Your Screen Name is: la belle candice
Upon reflection, that's an incredibly lame screen name. Forgive me, I'm barely computer literate, and it seemed quite cool while I was typing it in. All of the obvious ones were taken, and 'candice michelle' was too long. I even tried calling Matt Hardy. He knows everything about technology, I thought he could help me out. Damn boy didn't even have his phone on.
Lame screen names and technological difficulties aside, I suppose I should do a brief introduction. My name is Candice Michelle Beckman, and I hate writing introductions. I guess for those of you who don't know me well I can rattle off a quick one. That's what this journal schtick is about, right? Getting to know each other better. Outside of Raw, I don't really know anyone. I mean, I know the Divas, but I don't know the Superstars unless they've worked on Raw in the past. I worked on SmackDown for a while, but I just stuck to Torrie then. I'm not good at meeting people.
Okay. I'll try again. Hi! I'm Candice Michelle Beckman, and I'm twenty-nine years old. I'm a former WWE Women's champion and a Playboy covergirl.
Is it just me or did that sound very much like a dating advert? Well, hey, if anyone's interested, I am freshly single. I've just been granted my divorce. Never marry a chiropractor when you work as a professional wrestler. It leads to a lot of arguments. I'm currently living in Milwaukee, but I also have a place in Los Angeles. I lived in the City of Angels for ten years, but I want out now. Twenty-nine is too old to be living in LA anyway. I packed up my things and drove to Los Angeles aged 19, looking for modelling work, or acting jobs. My Dad wanted me to stay behind in Milwaukee and take up one of the athletic scholarships' I'd been offered. I wish I'd taken his advice now.
Of course, the fairytale story of leaving home with nothing but furniture, a car and a pocketful of dreams never works out that easy, right? Right! I struggled until 2004, working a few soft porn shoots, and working on Playboy TV. I won't go on about it, it's not something I really like to discuss anymore. I'm not ashamed of what I did, it's just in my past now, and I'd prefer it to stay that way. I might consider posing for Playboy again, but that's only because the magazine is so tasteful. I don't think you'll catch me working as a foot fetish model or as a bondage model. Sorry!
Anyway, back on the story. Some time in 2004, I received an application form for the WWE Diva Search through my agent. I remember straightaway thinking that this was perfect for me. I followed wrestling when I was younger, and I played basketball for my high school. I didn't even come close to winning, but miraculously the WWE saw something worth keeping in me. I'll be forever grateful to whoever decided I was something special. When I was hired, I decided I had to make myself useful. I started training, and although I wasn't any good, I worked when I was asked to, and it paid off. I received a title shot against Trish, and a really awesome feud, and a Playboy spread. I couldn't (and still can't) believe it.
As awesome as 2006 was, 2007 was even better. 2007 will probably be the best year of my career, providing 2008 goes down the pan. Which I hope it doesn't, by the way, I'm just saying. I managed to do what no other Diva Search contestant has done, and win the Women's Title. A lot of people said I was bringing down the whole Women's division, and that I was the worst Women's champion ever, and proof that the WWE don't care about women's wrestling. That just isn't true. The WWE does care about women's wrestling, and I was honored to hold the title for them. I'd like to think that while I was champion I helped change people's perspectives of me, that I showed them I'm not just a pretty face or useless. Unfortunately, you can't change everyone's minds, but I'll keep trying.
I'd definitely like to hold the Women's strap again, preferably sooner rather than later. If I had my way? The women's match at WrestleMania would be a singles match, me v. Beth or something like that. Unfortunately, me getting injured got in the way of that, and Maria's Playboy needed acknowledging, but who knows? This Bunnymania thing could turn out to be fun. I'm all for it, as long as they don't gimmick it to death. I know it's a Lumberjack match, which is cool, all the girls deserve to get involved somehow, but why is Snoop Dogg involved? Why does a Lumberjack tag match require a "Master of Ceremonies"? I don't even know what one of those is. It'll be cool meeting Snoop Dogg, though. I love his show. I'm excited about Kim Kardashian being at 'Mania as well. I may not like her show, but she is so pretty.
Now that I've talked all things career, I suppose I should talk about myself. This is the part I don't really like. I'll either come across as really stupid and childish, or not like myself at all. I would describe myself as goofy, and playful, and always in high spirits. I love being able to make jokes and play games with people, but I'm also good at listening. Giving advice I'm not so good at, but I'll still try. I'm not above bitching about people in the locker-room, who doesn't do that? But if I have a problem with you, I'll come say it to your face. Like Melina says, some people confuse bitchiness with standing up for yourself. After three years of being constantly trodden on by a useless husband, one thing I'm not afraid to do is stand up for myself. If I don't look out for myself, who will?
I'm a girly girl as well. I like to shop, and I hate to go out without buying something. Not always for myself, but for anyone. I also firmly believe in catering for my partner. In a relationship, I take on the "wife" role, you could say. I cook, I clean, I do everything. It's just what I believe in. I also believe in being treated like a Princess. I think every woman (and man) deserves that. I'm also a firm believer in the Lord. It took me twenty-eight years to realize it, but I've finally accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I'm not the kind of religious person who forces their beliefs on others, but I'm proud to be a Christian.
My current obsessions include; Final Fantasy games -I'm playing IX at the moment-, sudoku puzzles, string cheese, febreeze and porn shui.
Hopefully you've gotten to know me a little better. If you haven't, I'm usually available to chat, and I'd like to think I haven't put you off too much!
