Me to a girl that I've liked for-bloody-ever after a few hours of talking (well, texting. I talked to her earlier today) "hey, I think you're awesome and I really like you" reply: "thanks, goodnight bandit" That didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. [sad trombone sound here]

Maybe because you need a better name?

I've been thinking about using "Sexyburnoutdeamonhandbraketurnlord" instead

That might work. Not sure if it's very unique, though... Everyone has that name on the internets.
Also, girls like to play with guys' limited ability to read into things. So sometimes things aren't as bad as they seem. I hung out with a girl for a while, and was pretty sure she hated me. She also didn't want to date anyone for a long time. We've been married for two years now.

Don't give up. Females are a different breed. They react differently than males.

If you texted that message to her she may have misread your exact meaning just as you may be misreading the exact meaning behind her reply. When next you chat with her don't bring it up. If she wants to talk about it let her start the conversation.
Otherwise don't rush into trying to let her know you have warm feelings for her. Let the moment happen. When it does happen tell her something like, "Edwina, we've been friends for a long time and I would be a fool if I did not ask you out. I know I would hate myself later. I'd like to take you to the movies on Friday." After that go with the flow. If she says "Yes" that would be great. If she lets you down it will suck and hurt and you'll want to crawl away to hide. But after a few hours of that remember she is your friend and has been for a long time. Sometimes we need to shift our thinking about our relationship with someone before we can see them as potentially more than just a friend. She may change her mind later, if it does not work out like you want.

I don't really think that was a rejection. Maybe she just wanted to end the night on the positive note of you telling her you like her. She also probably needed to stop talking to you so she could text all her friends and dissect the entire conversation with them to figure out what you meant by 'awesome' and 'like.' It seems like a straight forward sentence to you, but to a young lady everything has a deeper meaning.

Also, don't go too long before you talk to her again. You don't have to profess your love or anything, but don't just disappear. If she likes you back she might get scared away with too much radio silence. Women's minds move quickly from 'I think I like him too' to 'he must not have meant it because he hasn't called me today'
I know it sounds crazy, but I'm sure you know by now that all women are a little crazy.

Has anyone suggested this yet?
In all seriousness though, the guys saying that she may have misinterpreted your meaning probably nailed it. I'd just follow boobytrapsandtreasure's advice if I were you.

Pick up the phone!
No but seriously, texting leaves so much room for misunderstanding. If you want there to be good communication, talk on the phone, or better, in person.
