I can't live without my Parker. Actually, I can't write notes without it. My handwriting is so terrible that even gel rollers cause legibility problems. The only way I can get smooth writing is with ink.

I'd say that the paper's at fault here. I don't know how you organise your notes but bog - standard writing paper is going to make a hell of a mess with ink.
Cheap printer paper, on the other hand, is still thick enough to work with ink. The downside is that it's not ruled or margined.
Take a look at what other people are using. I seem to be the only person in my row in lectures who bothers with ink, and my pads are correspondingly thicker. I go through about a hundred sheets a week, so it can be expensive, but when it comes to transcribing and revision, my eyes thank me. Just pick a combination that works, bearing in mind that comfort and legibility comes first.
