Why I want/need a Dribbble invite

I've been lobbying around the interwebs, and hoping that a dribbble invite will wind up in my inbox for the past coupe of weeks since I decided to be a prospect.

Here's why, in one word: feedback.

Now I know I'm not as good as many of the dribbble players out there but I want to be. I've seen the role feedback plays in refining many shots and feel some of my work will benefit from such feedback from the pros of the design community. Most of such are even too small to post to dA or Flickr or Behance as finished works (but are just the right size for dribbble) and will get lost in the crowd and may not get any critique that'll help me improve.
Also, participating in Playoffs would help me get more practice, especially at times I'm uninspired to think up something fresh.

Some purists might say "Dribbble is a place for experts, not learners or n00bs" (which I might be compared to some of the players I follow/admire/look up to) truth is after seeing the quality of work there, I know better than to upload crap. There are some design sites I've refused to join because the average quality of work is way above my current level (and the users don't offer the kind of feedback I'm seeking). I'm also hoping the the goodwill of seeing a fellow designer's skills improve significantly might motivate someone to send me an invite. Others might say "He doesn't even own a Mac", true as that "seems" to be a requirement   dribbble.com/shots/14726-Proce… own a low-spec laptop and run on Ubuntu but nevertheless I've been able to put out much better work -to my surprise!- than I thought I could without Adobe's ubiquitous Creative Suite (GIMP's still pretty frustrating though).

Please do not see this as a desperate atempt to get into an exclusive club, but rather as a desperate attempt to get better at design.

And there you have it; the reason I wanna be a player on dribbble.

I'm waiting expectantly.
Thanks.
