There’s a San Diego community on LiveJournal.

What’s LJ? Wikipedia has the answer:

LiveJournal was started in 1999 by Brad Fitzpatrick as a way of keeping his high school friends updated on his activities.

LiveJournal is the name of a website where Internet users can keep a journal or diary, as well as the name of the server software that was designed to run it. It is one of many sites that come under the term blog, or weblog.

A number of features distinguish LiveJournal from other blog sites, one of which is the “Friends Page,” a list of the most recent posts from people a user has added to their “Friends List” — turning LiveJournal into a community of interconnected weblogs, and shifting it toward being social network software. Another such distinguishing feature is the employment of the S2 template system to allow users to customise the appearance and behaviour of their weblogs.

As of July 2004, over three million accounts had been created, of which approximately 1,230,000 had been updated at some point in the last 30 days. Of those users who provided their date of birth, the vast majority are in the 15-22 age group. Of those who specified their gender, almost two thirds are female. LiveJournal is most popular in English-speaking countries (although there is a language selection feature), and the United States has the most LiveJournal users by far.
