Man this is really bad.
I did the site so I didn't need a retail job this summer, and to help fund my University fees.
Now someone has soaked up a majoirty of my profits, which I was going
to invest in advertising, and unless I can get it back up and running
sucessfully soon then I'm doomed to crappy jobs.
If I can get the IP's of this user, what can I do? I have a
feeling he is in the United States, and I want to hunt this guy down
and bill him.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that.
You're probably out of luck for getting the money back, but you can
try. Perhaps telephoning his ISP might help... Telephone the police in
the area where the ISP is located/incorporated.
Not sure what you can do and actually get satisfaction...

Well, I have weblogs to try and get his IP, but I've never analysed weblogs before. Any free tools to do so?
I can look at who made 6,000 requests that day from the same IP and then take it from there.
I'm going to make every effort humanly possible to get this guy to pay.

A lot of people use AWstats. Although all of them should enable you to view traffic by most frequent referrer.
Edit: Are you still hosting with GH? IIRC, they had a stats tool that could handle this.
Edit 2: You might want to change your profie here. The www button is still set to iaxx.com

Of course I can blame someone for doing that! It's illegal and an fellony in the US.
Ok, so if they saw it and send a few texts fine, I can deal with that,
but he sent 6,000 that contained no data in a matter of hours. He
achieved this by breaking into my account somehow.
I'm going to find him.
