Hey, It's really easy to get rid of those!!! First of all, delete all your cookies by going to help, internet options. You can delete all your cookies from there. And if you want to get rid of those words on google, just put your cursor over them and push the delete button!

Well, it depends on what journal website you're using, but I know that livejournal and deadjournal have this thing when you go to edit the userinfo you can block spiders. Google is a spider, so that should do it. If that doesn't work, you can probably write to google.

Google might take the link off if you email them, but by then it might be too late. Deleting the entry off your journal would probably be the safest.
You should try logging out and searching again and see if the entry still comes up. It might only be showing up to yourself.
Also, what kind of journal are you using? If you're using Livejournal or one that is based on the software, go to the page where you edit your personal information, and check the box next to "Minimize your journal's inclusion in search engine results" (on some sites using older versions of the Livejournal software it might still be "Block Robots/Spiders from indexing your journal", it should be between "Show location & birthday?" and "Display mutual friends on profile page") to reduce the chance of this happening in the future.
Of course, after this you might not trust your journal to keep your secrets any more.

Not being sure which journal you use, I will describe the one I am familiar with and hope it helps. In Livejournal, you can set your preferences to friends only. This means only people who log in and who you have listed as friends can read the journal. This would also keep it more private and keep it from being Googled (most likely). Check the settings for your own journal site and see what the privacy settings are. It may involve a little more work at the front to invite friends or let people know that some entries will not be open to them, but it will keep your secret thoughts more secret in the long run. Best wishes.
