[edit reason] no personal URLs please [/edit]
Welcome to Webmasterworld!
The Forum rules says not to post personal URLs. In fact, there are 2 major rules here: no specific URLs, no specific keywords or terms. Always change your URL per example.com and your keywords for something generic, such as "blue widgets".
You post has been edited by an admin, and if you do not edit the second yourself it will be also edited.
As for your question: do you have any inbound link which Google is aware of? Is this a dropped domain?
With almost no links -as it happens to you ;)- I think you need to be patient.
for some reason google has yet to index my siteGive it some time. Their may be something about the content of your site or style rules which Google doesn't like, but yet, I can't speak for them. Check your robots.txt file and your .htaccess files for any possible errors, etc.
As far as Webmaster Tools, I've learned that they aren't necessarilly always the most "up-todate" pieces of information that comes out of some of the reports. I can't be specific, I just realize it to be true. But patience, my friend, is a virtue. ;)
