EDIT: Magic items can help a lot too
Though the item you may want to put on your wish list for the long term is the Third Eye of Conceal. At 120,000gp, it's probably far out of your reach right now, but it grants nigh impenetrable immunity to mind reading and similar effects. Buying this instead of using a precious 8th spell known to learn Mind Blank may be worth the hefty price tag.
A Mind Crystal Anchor can be used to as a buffer against powers of the Telepathy discipline, such as Read Thoughts and Mind Probe, though the nature of the item probably makes its use more suited in relatively safe and stable locations such as at camp, in a stronghold, instead of out on the battlefield. Just beware characters wielding a Torc of Free Will.
2) Buy a scroll of Mind Blank.
3) Temporarily boost your CL and/or CHA and/or UMD to use said scroll without possibility of mishap.
4) Repeat as necessary.
the thing is, my party member is trying to read my mind! i dont trust him in the slightest. though he roleplays well, he occasionally makes slips that lets me know that hes lying. the best part? he doest even realize that hes doing it. all i know, if he tries to betray my party, i will light him on fire with a fireball spell. and he has 25 HP
New solution: Tell him, player to player, that he's bothering you and making the game less fun for you, and ask him to please stop being a pain.
okay, ill try. he just gets reaaalllllyyy offended if people do that..
If that is the case, then he is being counter-productive to the group, and therefore should not be playing.

Ring of Mind Shielding is a core magic item, only costs 8,000 gold, and makes you completely immune to detect lies, detect thoughts, and any attempt to magically discern your alignment.

This is an OOC issue. No amount of IC solutions can fix OOC issues. As others have said, you need to confront this player, let him know that he is making the game less fun for you (because he might not even realize you have a problem with his roleplaying), and ask him to stop. D&D is a cooperative game and everyone at the table should be having fun.
You might also want to ask your DM about his position on PVP. Hopefully, your DM has an anti-PVP policy and will automatically step in if a player gets out of hand.

That's his problem.

calmly explain to him that it's reducing your fun in the game. It sounds like he's being an ass, if he gets upset over you politely explaining that, then maybe he'll get booted out. If he accepts the criticism and stops the disruptive behavior, then maybe things will work out. If he gets defensive, then ask why, since you aren't attacking him, merely stating how you feel. And if he says any bullcrap about "I'm in character" then maybe he needs another concept. There's no justifiable reason to play a character that annoys everyone else.

I think you can get permanent mind blank installed for a small fortune.
but if you want to be vindictive, have some one with Craft contingency spell to put a fireball in him that explodes next time he read your mind. tell him when he wakes up from the drugged slumber.
(he cant resist the spell being put in him while asleep, I think)

lol while i think that's pretty brilliant (for the record, you're considered "willing" when you're unconscious), unfortunately, it'll only work as a deterrent until he's high enough level that fireball won't kill him.
Another thought: Next time he reads your character's thoughts, tell him he recieves, "It's a good thing that I trust (character name). If I thought for a moment he was violating my mind for grits and shins, I'd fireball his face off."

Man, I'd love to have sex with that tree for example.
thats a good one, ill try it! the funny thing about my Pc is that shes 30. and an elf. 30 in elf = 13-15 in human..... good times....
Not really, no. Elves start aging more slowly after puberty; they aren't toddlers for a decade. So, 30 in elf is more like 25 for human.

Actually elves(3.5) finish thier "filling out" and full adult growth at age 25. Where as humans do so at age 20. The 110 years stated in the PHB1 is the age that most elves start adventuring.
More information can be found in Races of the Wild(3.5), page 13: "Elves and Adulthood" Sidebar(bottom bar actually heh).
Edit: Replying as a read for the win!

Age 15 for humans in DnD, as the PHB says. ;)

Please try to pay attention, as I stated in my previous post, check out page 13 of Races of the Wild(3.5), the "Elves and Adulthood" sidebar. While huamns may be considered "adults" and ready for adventuring at age 15(as per PHB), they haven't finished "filling out" or their full adult growth until age 20(as per extended fluff-info in RotW).

Thou hast quoted elven stuff, rather than human stuff. My point still stands, as there has not been shown any real refutation. ;)
Anyways, becoming a type of creature immune to mind-affecting effects like undead would do the trick, too.

Except that the OP's character is an elf, and (most) elves hate undead. View them as a perversion of nature.

I take your bullet, and counter with Deathless. Surely an elf would not mind becoming one of them. ;)
Also, elves in general don't hate undead. Good-aligned divine magic users, certainly, and many elf culture, but not in general.
I doubt the player would continue reading your mind if they could die from doing it, and if they do die then it was their fault.
If you tell your DM you want to take this feat in order to put an end to your conflict, the DM might let you take it and even chalk up the feat's reqs as char backround.
