get in front of your wall, as this will act as your green screen. Kind of like a chroma key, it will not show up in the final picture. Take a pose, and have somebody snap a picture. My pose wasn't so great becuase i had to take the picture myself, pressing the shutter with my foot. It isn't advised.

The images of you are a bit dark for that background. You could easily turn this into a game screenshot?

Hey! I used to do this to everyone when I first got my camera! (uh-oh, I feel a 'nostalgiagasm' in the works)

IF you go to Adjustments -> Curves in Paint.NET, you should see a peak near the right hand side of the graph that represents the wall colour. If you raise the curve so that it hits 100% just before this curve then the wall will become pure white. See this page for a great tutorial on how curves work.

That should
a) make selecting the wall easier
b) lighten the images you want to cut out

so deal with two problems at once.
