Admittedly things DO take a little more time in Eve compared to other games, but the stuff you are irked by are really just learning steps you need to take.
Setting up the overview and UI might take a little time but it's essentially a one time only event.
Figuring out logistics for your ships should be seen as a challenge to overcome. If you really can't stand it then you need to either base yourself out of a trade hub (poster above me mentioned them) or get a large stockpile of ships and set up a courier contract (with collateral to match the value of goods + 20% as a deterrent to stealing and offer a reasonable payout).
These are all learning steps. You don't just respawn in an asteroid belt with a freshly fitted Rifter but the next best thing is having a base of operations with a good stockpile of ships and modules you use the most 
If you don't like any of these steps, wait till you find out how long it takes to find a 'fair fight'. The more cautious you are in New Eden, the less action you will find 
That said, for me, the best part of PVP is hunting down targets, assessing threat and making the call to engage or not. The actual fight, while often great fun, pales significantly to the strategy employed to track down targets and avoid dying horribly to bad people camping my route 
When you finally get your first kill, compare it to your first 100 kills in TF2. It should feel more significant because this isn't an instant gratification barrel shoot.

buy your ships/modules in a trade hub
move that stuff to a highsec system close to where you plan to roam (Hek, Arnon and Orvolle are all excellent systems to base out of).
take your pvp ships and go looking for fights in the nearby low/nullsec systems.
If you keep your security status at a decent level you can still continue to carebear in highsec to pay for your pvp ships.
Oulley is being camped quite heavily at the moment with NC being displaced so if you are going to base out of Orvolle at the moment, be prepared to hop in there with a scout or at least check it out first to see if you can get your ships to low. I've started basing out of Oulley itself (for solo roaming at least) since it saves me the Orvolle gate camp.
Otherwise it's a great place to base from and pf- and F7C as nearby entry points to the north are fun, as I am sure you know :P
