    The reign of Jane was a special time. Amen.

    1. The time you were so over Britney and needed a new leader and lo, Beyoncé was there.

    2. The time you hated your job and realized you could finally pursue your teenage dream career. Thanks, Jane!

    3. The time you were so fucking bored until you tried "4 haircolors in 4 weeks" and suddenly life was interesting again.

    4. The time that you had gone wayyyyyyy too long without getting laid that you were almost at your wits' end until: FREE ORGASMS PAGE 80.

    5. The time you learned Charlize was even cooler and more down-to-earth than you originally imagined and you knew you had to make her your BFF.

    6. The time you realized life could be worse: You could be Britney. Also: Free expensive jacket inside?! Yes, please. Also: How did they get it in there?

    7. The time a manapalooza solved everything because GUYYYYYS guys guys guys guys guys. You love guys.

    8. The time that nothing was more important than finding out exactly "what the hell is wrong with Angelina Jolie?" Also: You're gonna be a model. Again! Yayyyy!
