Someone on twitter has "my" name?

[Frannie Dragomir]

Here's the thing, I'm active in a lot of online communities (Youtube/livejournal/deviantART/tumblr)

When I first started out, I created a pen name for myself that I ASSUMED nobody else would ever have, so that I could use it on every site I signed up to and be easily found by my "fans" (for lack of a better term)

I want to make a twitter, but the thing is, my name's already taken. I checked the person's twitter and there's zero tweets. They don't use it at all.

Is there any way I can like...have that account? I mean, if they never use it, does it not make sense for someone who WILL use it to have it? I tried to send them a direct message on a temp twitter I made, but you can't unless they're following you. Dilemma...

Is there any way? :I
