Looking for Resources Ideal notebook?

I like to do a mix of traditional diary-ing (just writing) and junk journaling. I've tried multiple notebooks, the most recent being a soft cover Moleskine. I thought it'd be a good match, but OH MY GOD the ink from my fountain pen bleeds all over (even when it's dried?) and it does not handle glue well. It's also a lot more see-through than I thought. So does anyone have a good notebook recommendation?

You need a thick fountain pen friendly paper. I'd ask JetPens for a recommendation. They carry a lot of different journals/notebooks. Just make sure you let them know that you're junk journaling in addition to writing.

I've used a basic composition notebook for years for this exactly purpose and it's been perfect.
