oh incidentally, I took that relationship type test and it gave me a reasonable, multi-part answer and then boiled it down to:
"Pool Boy"
which has some negative connotations I'm not too stoked about.
Does that show up on my profile for anyone else? I can't see it and I hope no one else can either.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
okcupid sets up someone who lives near you and likes something you like and says "Hey, send them an Icebreaker" without telling you who they are, so I can understand the "Um, hi?"
everyone in my area is dumb anyway
the vast majority are freshmen girls who are SO TOTALLY IN YOUR FACE, BITCH, I'm FUCKIN HORNY ALL THE TIME BUT DON"T ASK ME ABOUT SEX CUZ THAT'S WEIRD
i can't stand that shit
ahahaha, this made me laugh too much because it's so accurate

It's something that goes best with a profile pic of a girl holding a red solo cup and making the pouty lips face. See also: nearly every girl in college going to get their Mrs degree.

My Self-Summary
Let me express how much I hate writing about myself. Talking is a different story. Sometimes I can't shut-up. Especially when I'm drunk. I if I am talking at all, I may be partially unintelligible. In other words: I talk waaaaaaay too fast (especially when I'm nervous, ladies).
MISTAKES: In one paragraph you have made yourself completely unappealing. You should like writing about yourself, because yourself is supposed to be good. If it's not good to you, why is it going to be good to her? Talking about being drunk is a chump move to seem worldly. Don't do it. Talking about being nervous is also not great. Go for more relaxed. Chilled out. Like this is a fun lark and you don't care if you meet anyone or not.
My writing, on the other hand, is far more expressive. This probably has something to do with learning at a young age and being the outcast of my elementary school.
This is better, except the part where you're an outcast at elementary school. You can put that in better terms. All I picture is a kid with non-standard underwear hanging out and a fly on his lip.
I got bet-ter. Thank whatever.
This seems like a joke. I think. Or a reference. Whatever! Go for it
I was raised Mormon, and am currently agnostic and studying philosophy when I'm attending school (as well as history and a spot of music). Religion is a dicey subject for me- I do not mind people believing whatever they want, as long as they do not make huge leaps in logic or believe in obviously false information because of it. You'll find that I scorn such thinking in general; as hard as I try to be accepting of others' beliefs.
Don't talk about logic and reason in terms of religion because you're either going to A: Seem like an asshole to a potentially nice girl who still has a Jesus chain or B: Seem like an asshole to just anybody. Talk about philosophers you like. Don't use phrases like "spot of" or "scorn". A handy trick is this: if you wouldn't say it to a cute bank teller without it tasting like ashes in your mouth, don't attach a picture of yourself to it.
My educational history has its leaps and falls (a great deal of falls) and I am currently settling on the fact that I will eventually reach a Master's degree once I muster the discipline to do so. In the meantime, I just try to do as many units as I can handle per semester.
See, you somehow made the fact that you're working on a Master's degree seem like a bad thing. Don't describe it so negatively. Talk about how you're working on your Master's more and talk less about how you've been a dropout or whatever in the past.
I do enjoy physical activity when I can arse myself to do it. Running is a favorite, and I have been experimenting with Parkour (depending on my insurance status). Martial arts are fan-freakin'-tastic, but I can't afford classes, at the moment.
Fan-freaking-tastic is a phrase that is going to make a woman's vagina shrivel up and fall off. Again, bank teller. Also, arse. Don't say arse, man. Unless you are British? But it seems you are from California.
Personal time is super important for me. I don't mind large groups for a reasonable period of time. Intimate get-togethers interest me far more.
Instead of "I don't mind" why not say "I like"? No one likes someone they have to drag to a party. Instead of "intimate get-togethers", which sounds like a really tender orgy, why not "hanging out with close friends"?
Probably should have mentioned this first, but I am a total geek. Video games, sci-fi and fantasy books, table top RPGs, and forums are among my usual activities. I make sure to get myself outside on a frequent basis (especially since my job demands it- everybody wins).
Drop the tabletop and the forum thing and substitute the words "sci fi" and "fantasy" with the names of actual titles of books and stuff. I'm not saying don't be yourself. I'm saying let it unfold over time. Also, the injection of confidence and fun that will have arisen from the edits you make will make this seem like a fun quirk about you, not the core and explanation for your entire personality.
I really can't think of much else to say about myself. I, uh, tend to waiver between being fairly interesting or unbearable, depending on the individual observing me.
Do not describe yourself as unbearable.
What I’m doing with my life
Pushing myself through school and figuring out what I want to do with the rest of my life, all while trying to broaden my interest a little.
This is good! Maybe mention some good options for what job you might take.
I’m really good at
Video games, annoying people, reading, writing, history, delivering sarcasm, and... being modest and succinct? Not sure about those last two.
Drop the annoying people part and the delivering sarcasm part. This is the place to brag. A joke is good. Good work on the joke. A better one would be "Working on developing THE classiest signature drink. I know it needs gin and I go back and forth on adding a twist of lime." See, work the drinking thing in there naturally, not like a hat you might wear
The first things people usually notice about me
My vaguely handsome looks and smile, and then how awkward I am around new people.
Jesus christ on the cross drop the awkward thing. You realize any girl you meet on this site will BE a new person, right? So why would you want to say you're going to be awkward around them?

The six things I could never do without
1. the internet
2. any of my limbs
3. my ability to read
4. my mind
5. my fantastic friends
6. family
reverse the order here
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Government, religion, the latest book, movie, or game I experienced, work, Philosophy, and alcohol.
again the alcohol thing.
On a typical Friday night I am
Either sitting at home on my computer, out in town with a buddy or two, or driving somewhere else to see family or distant friends.
Drop the computer thing.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
Rush Limbaugh was my childhood hero.
You should message me if
you... are... interested?

this is actually one of the things I can't stand about online profiles in general.
Yes, you drink. That's great. Certainly there are some pictures out there that don't involve you holding 1+ beverages in your hands, goddamn lush.

I get a large amount of messages from self-described 'heavy' girls and from single mothers.
Most every message I get is something about my smile.
That's not exactly the best way to start a conversation, ya know.
Why yes I keep my bicuspids in good working order, pip pip.
