  I’m confused. Did I delete “prepetualstyle.wordpress.com?” I followed the “delete” your Blog email link. Can you double check? Also, when I went to change my username, I was asked if I wanted to match it to “prepetualstyle.wordpress.com” and write over it and have a blank Blog or just use my new username and do not match a Blog to it. I was going to choose to not match a Blog but then it said it would be permanent. Why is that?

  prepetualstyle.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this site.

  To be clear on this you cannot register a deleted URL. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  You can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
