Replacement for the G2 mini's on thinner paper?

I've recently switched from using the Moleskine sketchbooks to the 18month planner. I really like the calendar function since most of what I'm doing is notes for appointments. However the thin paper just doesnt work with the G2 mini's or the G7 full size pens. The bleed through is awful.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a pocket size pen that will have the smooth writing of the G2 without the crazy bleed through?

If you're left-handed, the worst part with the G2s is the way the gel ink smears and stains the side of your hand as you write. It's a left-hander's curse, and I've been dealing with it since I was a grade-schooler wiping pencil graphite off my hand, but it seems especially bad on the Moleskine paper.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
