That's... eerily close to how it was for me! I used it more as a teenage angst space, then the summer I graduated high school (2004) I got a new LJ and, like you said, really got into communities and stuff. It helped that a fandom website I went to shut down temporarily for repairs, so there was a bit of a mass friending.
