BAILEY TRASK: MY FAVOURITE JAKE TRASK MEMORIES

well well well... i guess you could say its the "end of an era". i dont want to state the obvious in this post, but i will miss jake so much next season...and the next and the next etc. i never really thought i could like a player /that/ much, but obviously i was very wrong. i remember reading the star phoenix (newspaper) the monday after he got traded. i had no idea who he was at the time. i remember seeing a little picture of him along with an article about the trade. the first couple paragraphs were an interview and he said something like "i dont think my brother and sister will like sharing the house with me again" and i thought that was the cutest thing...plus, he looked (very) good looking in the picture. that was kind of where it all started. my very first tweet about him was "Trask scores!!!!!" on november 10th, 2010 at 7:42pm haha. i also tweeted this past summer that if the blades make it past the second round (.......) that i'd get his name tattooed on me, which i would honestly still do ha. but anyways, here is a list of (some) of my favourite jake moments/memories. i definitely will not post them all (even a few of the best, according to me) and some will be very stupid, i am betting. lets go.

1. my first trask jersey. i got it in the middle of last season, and got my friends friend (who used to work for the blades) to get him to sign it for me.

2. changing my "name" to bailey trask. near the end of november 2010, i changed my twitter handle. zero whl players were on twitter then, so i thought it was fine. i remember my first tweet with it being something like "haha i had to do it". i've even been called "trasker" by some friends, and i am sooo glad i did change it. i have gotten quite a few (awhile ago) tweets asking if i was "actually his wife" or sister...but if i was his sister, why would i be tweeting the stuff that i do?!

3. haters. this isnt my favourite, obviously, but i will write about it anyways. people saying i only ike the blades because of jake (hahahahahahh), thinking braxton was actually my son and telling brax that jake was his real dad (wow), and of course....

4. stalker. again, not another favourite but i had alot of fun with this one... i hope people were joking when it comes to me stalking him, because i definitley was. i make jokes about it quite often. no, i have never stalked him (except maybe when he was suspended and i followed him around in the concourse at games haha) and would never even want to (well, maybe).

5. no hatty. not a favourite but i tweeted last season that jake has had SO many 2 goal games that he was bound to have a hat trick. nope. not one. ah oh well.

6. fight. he did it!! just not on home ice :( when jake fought tanner eberle on the 15th of february, i was in complete shock. im positive the "#FIGHTJAKEFIGHT" and "DONT RT IF YOU WANT JAKE TO FIGHT" tweets had nothing to do with it but i am SO glad he did! plus got the W, i would say :)

7. his warmup. i have it down. seeing jake stick handle down the red line during warmies really makes me happy, for some reason.

8. his interviews. on his blades player spotlight video, he has the EXACT same answer for 3 of 4 different questions. "being home, seeing everyone and playing infront of friends and family every night". #mixinanewanswer

9. ask a blade. i really wish the blades would post this seasons ask a blade videos, because they are JUST. SO. CUTE. his smile and laugh is just too perfect (am i getting soft?)

10. wikipedia. the millions of wiki pages i made for him that they kept on deleting.......

11. on the right trask. all the newspaper articles about him (i keep them all)... and especially the muzzy one and "TRASK MASTER"

12. my mom. that probably sounds a bit weird, but my mom is (not joking) a huge fan of his. she keeps telling me to talk to him so that we could date hahah. i didnt tweet this, but when booking my hotel for medicine hat she was like "why dont you just stay with jake trask??"

13. the sims. yes, i was obsessed with that game. i made me and jake into a family, built a house, and had "little jakeys/kiddies". creepy i know

14. tweets. its a no brainer i reeeeally like jake, eh? maybe i'll make a post of my favourites sometime... (like any of you care)

15. twitter. more specifically, when he got one. i vowed i would never follow him, but...oops. #hestartedit

16. dreams. my very weird dreams about him. i remember dreaming that my family were billeting him (weird, since he lives with his parents), and that him and my mom hated eachother. also other dreams about kids, marriage and him calling me a loser.

17. suspension. when jake got suspended on december 5th (2 games/checking to the head and gm), i honestly felt proud. ive always wanted him to be "rough" and this was when he hadnt gotten into his fight yet.

this is all im going to put now. theres some more but i would like to keep those to myself ha
