This brings to my mind Lois' wonderful quote about writing, the one that ends with "the book is not finished until someone reads it." (All who've answered you so far are familiar, I'm sure, with the entire quote.)
So perhaps what your lj-ing is becoming to you is not only examining, or thinking, or experiencing, or sharing, but the wondrous combination of all those things plus the act of creation when you do write it. And then, finally, the whole point, the other half that completes the process:
Someone reads it.
I agree with you, though I've posted little myself yet on lj; when something is happening that I want to write about, the very decision to do so immediately enhances the experience. It's the extra observations, the absorbing of them, the conscious act of tucking all the individual ingredients into the back brain, knowing that when the "flavors" have stewed and been stirred and blended well enough, it'll be served. Ahhhh....
