Kennedy:My dad asked me how my day was. He was persistent so I finally mumbled something about hating my life and having no one to celebrate my birthday with. Again. He suggested that he go on a scavenger hunt for people my age to come to a birthday party for me.
Me:Actually, I'm coming. It was supposed to be a surprise, but surprise! Your dad already knew.
Kennedy:... really?
Me:I had to email for permission, since I can't really just show up and be like, "HI, MR KENNEDY! I LIVE HERE NOW."
Kennedy:And yet you've done it so many times with meeee. You're coming!!!
I'm Lena Chen, a writer and media producer who's been called a "skank" (by Bill O'Reilly) and "a small Asian woman" (by The New York Times). My favorite part of my workday is the hate mail.
I got started blogging as an undergrad at Harvard, where I started the infamous Sex and the Ivy blog. My life and my Google results haven't been the same since. Nowadays, you can catch me online talking all things sex-related on Sex Really With Lena Chen, a webcast for Bedsider.org, and Sexy Times, a web series debuting in January 2012 on gURL.com. I have mixed feelings toward the portmanteau "sexpert".
