We've run out of the big bottles of drinking water at camp, so now we have to drink boiled water from the river. It is brown. It tastes like smoked sausage. It is gross.
BUT, the water at the project site..the stuff we are getting to the village has no added taste! Woo! So whenever I have the opportunity, I'll fill up my bottle from there.

We found about 5 scorpions in our 'room' (Balai Balajar) today. Tiny ones, but still, fuck.
Work was alright, I got leeched on my stomach though. How? I only discovered when I returned to camp and got in the mandi room (room for bucket showering) mandi=wash, and saw it was bleeding. I didn't know if the leech was still about, I couldn't see in the dark room. Shit. They are sneaky little buggers!!!
16/5
Day off today, wrote some lyrics..don't like them. Was switching between 3 sets so my brain is fizzled. Couldn't write any music to them after. I love writing music, but get so frustrated when my imagination fails me!!
I can't believe I'm 19 tomorrow. I don't want to be. I don't really understand birthdays, I mean, don't get me wrong, they're great, fun, an event to celebrate. But..why? Why be happy that you're getting older. Tomorrow will just be a reminder that my youth is slipping away from meeee! Sometimes I feel like I've wasted my teenage years..god I hate my past self sometimes. Dick. I wonder how different the possibilities would be in life if we didn't count our age..less limits and restrictions. Theres this woman who lives in the village, when Catherine asked her how old she was she said 'I do not know, when I was growing up we didn't count our age, but I moved here when I got married, 99 years ago.'
However, I'm kinda looking forward to spending my birthday half way across the world, in the jungle, it will be an experience!
The geckos are loud tonight, I love them though.
My ear really hurts..theres definitely something wrong with it. Will try to sleep now.
