  Please follow the instructions found here for exporting your content out of your WordPress.com blog and importing it into your WordPress.com install > http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org

  That file will contain your posts, pages, comments, custom fields, categories, and tags.

  Please follow the instructions found here for exporting your Links (blogroll) out of your WordPress.com blog and importing it into your WordPress.com install > http://en.support.wordpress.com/blogroll/import-export-links/

  I do not know if you have already acquired a web host and WordPress.org install as yet. I also do not know if you have uploaded a theme and plugins. In the event you have not done this as yet, here are helpful links for undertaking those processes prior to doing your exporting and importing.
  web hosting > http://wordpress.org/hosting/
  themes directory > http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/
  plugins directory > http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
  codex – getting started with WordPress.org > http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
  support forums > http://wordpress.org/support/

  Best wishes with your move and new WordPress.org install. :)
