Xiphias covered most of it; there's just one minor bit which should be pointed out:
Paid vs. non-paid status: you can be a freeloader, like me, and not pay a cent for LiveJournal. Or you could give them money, in which case there are several nice extras you get. I'd suggest seeing how you feel about LJ in a few months; if you're still using it, and can afford it, it may be worth giving them some money. (See the list of features for more details.)
