I hate Google Apps

So I tried to register a domain name for this blog and I got an error message.

So then I backed up, tried to redo the process and it said it couldn't do it because the domain name was being used and that I needed to login via Google Apps.

So then it said I needed a Google Apps account.

So I signed up for a Google Apps account and it automatically gave me a business account. Which I didn't want, so I removed it.

So then it automatically gave me an Educational account... which I apparently didn't qualify for so now my Google Apps account is in limbo.

I also changed the settings for my blog, checked the settings on Enom, and everything on the Blogger and Enom side of things is hunky dory and perfectly fine.

The problem is that Google Apps and Blogspot apparently both use the same server settings: ghs.google.com and the same IP addresses.

So Enom is operating correctly and going to the right place, but Google Apps is usurping the domain name and sending it in that direction instead of to Blogspot where I want it to be.

*serious freaking headache here*

So... how do I fix this? The Enom support guy says I everything done correctly on my side, the Blogspot website is likewise fine... but Google Apps is dug in like a tick. When I was going to the domain name it was auto-redirecting to a Google Apps page... (Right now it doesn't go anywhere, it just says it doesn't exist.)

The Enom guy also said I may need to wait 24-48 hours for things to start working... but at this point its already pretty obvious the whole attempt was botched because of Google errors.

Now I am thinking maybe I should start over and get a different domain name. And wait a year for the one I wanted to expire.
