 Online dating profile feedback?

So, a lot of people around here recommend online dating. I finally decided to try it. I was hesitant for a while. It always seems like I see people I know on there, which is weird. And I am just tired of the girls I hang around and want to meet some new ones.
But, here's my profile. Its a work in progress, but do you see any ways I can improve it?
It just seems a little boring/mundane. Its hard for me to describe myself in an interesting way.
Thanks for the input...
My self-summary
Humor and laughter are important to me. I am a funny and I surround myself with funny people. I love to ride my bike. I do it everywhere I go. In the summers I like to go backpacking, to the lake, on long bike rides, or to the river.
What I’m doing with my life
I am a graduate student at *** studying ************ with an emphasis in environmental policy. I am set to finish in the spring, so I am job hunting. Which is not so fun.
I’m really good at
School, skiing, partying, having a good time, and making jokes.
The first things people usually notice about me
People usually notice my clothes/style. I usually dress pretty casual, but like to dress up if the occasion is right.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
I really like watching movies and certain tv shows. I read anything by T.C. Boyle and a lot of classics. The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey is great. I am working on War and Peace right now. I listen to Atmosphere, Nine Inch Nails, Mos Def, Blackalicious, NOFX, Pennywise, System of a Down, the blues, and a bunch of other stuff.
The six things I could never do without
My friends
Great food and someone to eat it with
My bed
Movies
My bike
Music, I probably wouldn't make it without music
I spend a lot of time thinking about
How to solve society's problems. Particularly with respect to the environment. Also, I spend a lot of time thinking about lyrics to songs and how some artists seem to be able to describe me better than myself. And girls. I love all of you :-)
On a typical Friday night I am
Out at the bars or eating with friends
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
It seems like I have been getting burned pretty bad in relationships lately. If you're a burner or like to play head games you might just want to pass me up.
I’m looking for
Girls who like guys
Ages 21-34
Near me
For new friends, long-term dating, short-term dating, activity partners, long-distance penpals
You should message me if
You are cute, fun, easy going, and like to have a good time :-) If you can make me laugh even better.

the way out is through

I second that notion...from first-hand experience.

What has made them conceive that man must want a rationally advantageous choice?
I've become desensitized to these types of occurrences thus far. Yet, there lies a sensation of bitter disappointment embedded within.
FINE YOU IMBECILE; SUFFER!! IT IS YOURSELF THAT YOU ARE HURTING. NOTHING IS DETERRING YOU FROM ATTAINING THAT OF WHICH YOU INHERENTLY CRAVE. YOU HAVE LET THEM TAKE OVER YOUR MIND, YOU ARE NO LONGER IN CONTROL, YOU NEVER WERE.

Some girls may interpret this as "I'm a player, bring on as many girls as possible," even though you don't mean it that way.

This might scare off a few too - it makes you come across as damaged, or very vulnerable. Not everyone digs that.
Other than that, I see nothing wrong with your profile. But I also don't get the impression that I know what you're all about - you remain sort of anonymous, or intangible. What defines you, and why isn't it in there (as prominently as it should)?

I perked up after reading "Blackalicious" and was let down after I read the rest of your music list.
Its pretty boring man. I wouldn't message you thats for sure. You don't seem like someone I'd want to be around or even go through the effort of meeting.
I can't really give you advice as I feel its something that reflects you. Theres no proper format or way to describe yourself and I don't think anyone can tell you how without it not being a legitimate representation of yourself as a person. People who like your profile regardless will message you. 
Keep in mind on the same site, I show up as replying "selectively". I never respond to messages and very rarely message people because most people leave me with a similar impression as your profile.

profiles are dumb. try not to worry too much about what you put on there. nothing negative, just be yourself - totally.
and take out those two things mentioned in quotes. (above)

Why would you want to tell them everything about yourself in a profile? Most of the fun part about meeting someone new is learning about them. You have a huge list about everything in your life, this comes out as desparate.
Most people lie about themselves in this online dating thing, so who is going to believe about half the stuff in the profile. Bottom line, your profile is over the top and shows of weakness, it looks like you are trying to sell a product, and that is not attractive.
