Ravelry...So freaking impatient to get in

I heard of Ravelry several months ago and thought it sounded very cool. I was positive that I had signed-up for an invite at that time (June? May?) But, could not find either of my email addresses in their database when I checked a little while ago. ;(
So... I signed up again and here are my stats as of this morning:

You are #29373 on the list.
18020 people are ahead of you in line.
1262 people are behind you in line.
36% of the list has been invited so far

So - if their rate of invitations is correct - here is my best estimation for when I'll get in:

150 invites per day = approx. 120 days until my number is up, or 17 weeks, or 4 months. Sigh!

I have really been enjoying reading about how great Ravelry is on all the cool kids blogs. I'll just have to be patient and remind myself how much better the product will be after a few more months of tweaking.

I have a friend who is tight with some folks at Make and Craft mags and it seems like they are on the invite list like everyone else, and still waiting to get in. I thought that this would make me feel better... maybe it does... slightly.
