SERINE SCHMERINE. Now, the deficiency of SERENE is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. It's awful.
Harmful side effects include withdrawal symptoms such as talking to oneself in an attempt to emulate Serene, strange obsessions over white watches, a wanton ignorance of iPODs, signs of high stress levels (ie high amounts of adrenaline, high blood pressure etc.) owing to the fact that Serene is not there to take away the stress, a sudden urge for music of any kind, a once-non existent passion for sour mangoes, an acute lack of laughter, insomnia and the inability to sleep until the wee hours of the morning, your reasoning being, Serene, were she out there somewhere, would not be sleeping either.

Serenity is also what many people desire and crave for, especially those working in jobs with high stress levels. Unfortunately, serenity and Serene do not come hand in hand, but they often act as excellent substitutes for each other as both are supremely capable of relieving stress.

Serene is also a famous abbreviation for a haunt of many teenagers, Serene Centre, where copious amounts of human traffic flock to Island Creamery.

Unfortunately, there is no cure for this disease, and there is no possible way to limit the harmful withdrawal symptoms. TOO BAD.
