Tonight I accidentally deleted my twitter account. You are probably wondering how a person “accidentally” does that when you have to confirm it and are presented with a “hey are you aware if you do this…” type of message. Well, I’ll tell you how.

I had another twitter account that I ended up never using and it was linked through a badge on a blog. I was editing the blog and wanted to delete the badge and that account. I clicked through and deleted the account, but since I was already logged in as my @micala account, I ended up deleting @micala and not the one I truly meant to delete.

I must say that when I realized it, I couldn’t breathe. I could not believe that I had done that. I felt lost. I wanted to tweet about it – but couldn’t!

In thinking about how I feel right now, I don’t feel bad losing the tweets because I honestly never cared about that. I view twitter as sort of an ongoing chatroom – but my name and the credibility that I felt I’d built up after using twitter for several years, is now gone and that bothers me.

I’m crossing my fingers that someone at twitter can help me, but if not, then I’m starting anew. Not by choice, but by necessity. I’m trying to look at the positives – sometimes a fresh start is a wonderful thing…… right?
