It's been two months since I last spoke to you guys and a lot has happened to me since then. Of couse I've gained a new "father" in Adam Copeland because he married mami and I can't stand that. But other things, possibly more important things, have gone down. Let's start with my relationship with Phil. We're going strong and we still haven't...well..."celebrated" being together. I understand it. I guess with the two of us being straight edged, the celebrating has to wait until we're married. If we ever get married. If we don't, I don't mind. I just enjoy laying in his arms at night without having to do something for him. Happiness with Phil is almost as easy as breathing, it just comes natural. Even the fans seem to be enjoying the times they get to see Phil and I in the ring together be it alone or as part of the Straight Edged Society.
Speaking of the Straight Edged Society, that's something else that's changed. There used to be four of us that were like a big dysfunctional familia: Phil was the padre, I was the madre, Serena was our little bambino, and Luke was the weird uncle who comes over every Thanksgiving and eats all the sweet potatoes. Sadly, our baby girl has moved on to other things. No, Serena didn't die, she was fired. Vince didn't want another girl in the Straight Edged Society. Obviously he didn't know what was going on between Serena and Luke. Well, is going on, Luke's still with her so it isn't over yet. Instead of leaving Serena behind and getting no one else we got made the caretakers of a superstar who hasn't been in the WWE for several years: Joey Mercury. That's right folks, the man who was originally fired for drug usage has been sent to our care to help him with his little problem. He's a nice enough guy and there's no reason to dislike him but Phil, Luke, and I don't see him as a true member of the familia. Maybe one day he will be though.
Something else that has happened since I last talked to you was yet another wedding. This one, however, wasn't something to puke about. This one was between to really close friends of mine. Since proposition 8 passed in California John and Alex decided that it was probably a really good idea to go ahead and get married before it was over turned yet again. I don't think that I had ever seen anything so wonderful. Alex wore a white suit with a hot pink tie while his bridesmaids (that being me and his sister Natalie) wore pink dresses. John wore a black suit and a baby blue tie while his groomsmen (Joey Mercury and surprisingly Matt Hardy who he had patched things up with) wore almost the exact same thing. They had it on a little strip of beach right outside of Los Angeles. It was so perfect and such an honor to be a part of something that could help change America that I couldn't help but cry when they kissed. That's what a wedding's supposed to be like. I could see Phil as we walked back down the aisle. I guess he could tell what I was thinking because he smiled ever so gently and nodded. That night we didn't talk about the wedding. That night we talked about our career's and what direction their headed in.
Now that I've got you up to date on somethings that have been going on, I guess I can tell you whats going on right now. Currently, I've been doing a lot of promotional work for the WWE as the first woman's US champion. That means a lot of photo shoots and autograph signings and I even got to be on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. But this Friday Vince told me that he wants to announce something big for me as a champion. I hope it isn't something that's going to change my life forever. I must admit, I've thought about who he can make me fight for the titles. I mean so far he's had me fight Curt Hawkins, who every time I fought him could barely keep up to the pace I had set for him, and Kofi Kingston, he was a bit tougher to beat but in the end I still did it. I don't know what I'll do if I have to fight Rey or Phil for the title. I mean, I know how much he wants to be a champion again but I think at the moment he's feeling good about not being one. Besides, I don't think Phil would put himself in a situation where he had to hurt me. Sure, you can think about the match we had against each other in the past where we fought for contendership to this title but in the end it ended up being me who won. Now that we're together I don't think he'd hurt me. And then there's the matter of having to fight Rey Rey. He's my padre, the man who helped birth me but didn't raise me. I've lost all animocity to him so I don't really know what I'd do if I had to fight him. We pretty much have the same styles and the same fighting manuevers except for the few Guerrero moves I use.
Anyways that's neither here nor there. Vince has something planned for me on tomorrow's show and I don't know what it is. It's late and I watch Phil laying next to me in our Miami hotel room. All I know is that I have a feeling in my gut. That feeling is that I haven't lived my greatest adventure yet. But I'm sure as hell about to.
