You can't always have it by default, you have to change it all the time, but there's a way to appear offline before anyone knows you're there. Before you "Sign in", press the Xbox Guide button, go to Preferences if I recall correctly (it's somewhere on the last blade when you keep pressing right), then the first option on top (actually the only option available), finally tick the "Appear Offline" option.
I know the feeling.
Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...
