I know it's supposed to be today but the waiting is starting to drive me crazy. Any ideas?

It's so true. Apparently 'a refreshed inbox never changes' also holds true.

#5To make the waiting easier, I assume it's going to be after midnight. That way, insanity is held at bay.

#7My recommendation: go out and get a cool drink from some hippy juice bar, relax, and then go to bed before midnight. Read a book or watch a movie instead of checking until tomorrow morning. (I'm not being sarcastic; that's what I'm planning on doing. Blueberry-orange-pineapple smoothie ahoy!)
Finding out about the results sooner won't alter them, and the anticipation/worry is almost always worse than the reveal of whatever you're waiting for. If you resolve not to check until tomorrow morning, you'll have a more pleasant night, and be well rested to find out what's up in the morning.

Or better yet, just assume you're not getting it, because even if you get invited, you statistically still probably aren't going to be accepted. Keep building your application, chasing up contacts, figuring out the next step and planning on taking over the world with or without YC.
