while I assume that the login process for LiveJournal is secure (I've never checked), the rest of your interactions are sent in the clear. (HTTPS doesn't even work with LJ, far as I know -- someone correct me if I'm wrong.)
So yes, your password is snaggable every time you log in unless you explicitly make it not. And everything you read or post is snaggable. Whenever. There is *no* option to read LJ securely.
This is part of why I don't do it at work anymore.
