I have no idea when I first started blogging, it must have been at a similar time - on easyjournal, then livejournal, then I did what you did and flipped between LJ & my WP blog. I know what you mean about LJ being a bit more personal, though - you develop a group of friends there; there is a good sense of community. I think this is missing slightly in these kind of blogs, because it's harder to filter who reads what, and also because there isn't quite as much commenting & discussion. Twitter helps fill that gap though, certainly! I still crosspost all my entries to Livejournal, and hopefully now to Dreamwidth as well, where a few of my LJ friends are moving! I read & try to comment on my friends page often but I can't help missing the old spirit of the place a bit. Congratulations on 8 years!
