How to delete a stubborn myspace account August 22, 2009

If you’re anything like me, you would have left a trail of defunct email addresses behind over the years. Some you can’t remember the password for, while others may have been tied to a long gone DSL package. Such was the case with the email address I signed up to myspace with back in 2004; one that quickly got snipped the second I canceled my Verizon service.

So when the time came to delete my myspace account it was actually impossible to do so – since I no longer had access to my Verizon service, I was unable to confirm the cancelation email. My full name was on that stupid site along with all kinds of  inane shit I was up to at the time. The last thing I wanted was the 6th graders I teach to be poring over my former life.

So desperate times called for desperate measures. I remembered that a friend of mine once had his myspace account deleted for changing his name to that of a popular celebrity. So with this knowledge I signed back into myspace, renamed myself Jessica Simpson and changed my profile picture to something  a little more inappropriate shall we say. To seal the deal,  I even embedded a dirty video right into the ‘about me’ section.

Within 24 hours my account was gone.

Oh yeah.
