Can you close a facebook account instead of just deactivating it?

Question From User - Answers in Comments.

I spend too much time on facebook and would like to spend more time in the 'real' world. I've decided that I will therefore close my facebook account and that way I cannot go on it. I can only see an option to deactivate the account though. This is pointless as soon as login again it just reactivates. I want to completely destroy my account, is that possible at all?
