Impossible...
Yesterday in class we brought up the idea of doing vanity searches in google, that is searching for your own name to see if you can find yourself. As soon as it was mentioned I knew what the results would be for my name "Justin Running", can you guess what the results were? The first page contained the results "Justin running cross country", "Justin running marathon", and "Justin running from something?", the last one having a picture of someone running from a pink hat sitting on the ground. I tried adding on things like "UWT" "White River High School" or "Bonney Lake" on to the search, none came back with any results. After trying to find myself for sometime I labeled it impossible. Now, finding my alias online, thats easy. I can search for any name Ive used for posting on a forum or any character Ive played in an online game and I can show up somewhere on the first page with the right search parameters.

In a way your lucky. With so many possibilities, you can hide a little easier than others. I am thinking of changing my name to "and then" so that noone can find me online.
I'd change my name to 'to a' 5.8 billion results, largest I've found for a 2 'word' inquiry.
