I just joined a gym and I'm being shown around by a physical trainer who used to be 6'0 130 lbs. when he was 18. I'm not sure what age he is now (he looks mid 20's), but he's 6'2 250 lbs. (all muscle). There is hope for skinny people like us.
Aren't anabolic steroids illegal?! 
Nah, there trully is hope for skinny people. After I finish eating my pizza and let it digest for a while, I'm going to warm-up, stretch, and hit some free weights in the home. Modern science seems to have proven that a person can improve almost anything on them such as muscle tone, fatness, bone strength, hair, penis/breast size..., dental health, et cetera. Set reasonable goals and enjoy life. It'll pay off when you're old and gray and kickin' it in the Carribean.

Wow! I did not expect to get this many replies and espcially great ones.
I'm 19, yeah my family in their youth where very fit and skinny, but now over the ages they've gained weight. I plan on that not happening to me. Then again they probably did too. I'll join a gym once I produce a little more muscle, kind of a self-confidence thing I guess.

You have to go into it with the mindset that you will not get "huge" in a week. It's takes at least 6 months to notice a real change in your physique (atleast in my experience).
Don't forget to stretch after your muscles are warmed up because it's been shown that those who stretch for flexibility are 30% stronger from working out. Hope I didn't skew the statement or statistic... 
drgonz- yeah I was thinking of how I will look if I continue with this for a long time and not what I look like now and stretching is my favorite part I stretch before, in between, in between some more, and after. feels good and makes it feel like you are actually getting a workout.
hobbitcg- Thanks for that site I printed out a book and am going to put it in my basement gym.
I'd like to thank everyone for their inputs I really appriciate it!
Terrific advice from you all, I really did not excpect this.
oh and Moxemerald- "fit in places" hahaha that was funny as hell and so random

Ok, this may be a lengthy post, but it's easy readin.
I feel so healthy and happy. working out is a great way to relieve a lot of stress. The past two days i've been eating a lot and it feels great. I woke up today had three eggs over easy, two pieces of toast with very little fat free butter, glass of OJ, and some pineapple (the only fruit I had) I was also going to throw some beans in there but I was fresh out.
then about an hour or so later I made two turkey breast fillet sandwiches with two pieces of American cheese and no mayo.
now I usually don't eat that much in a day and I still have so much time left! right now i'm eating two P&J sandwiches with a glass of milk.
here is my work out schedule
for sat. and sun.- With all the stretching aside, I begin with bench presses (inclined too), then I start my curls (mostly seated incline curls), after that I work out my forearms I don't know the name of the work out but I hold my arm straight out with the weight and move my wrist up and down then reverse my arm so my palm is facing upward and do the same, run on the tred mil (never timed), 6 inches, sit-ups (around 35 with 10 lbs. on chest, then 35 more with out, and I do 35 where you go up and turn left or right),
hmm, I might be forgetting some things.
Well i'll shorten this a lot by saying
Mon. and Tue.- stretching aside, I work my lower body, sit-ups, 6 inches (although I bitched out on them today).
Can anyone tell me if this is a valid schedule for working out?
Should I add anything to my work out or eating habit?
I plan on buying healthier foods, vitamins, and am going to buy some protein shakes.
Note: if you did not read this because it was to long, the top part doesn't really matter. kind of.

I used to be about the same height/weight as you. Been working out on and off for about 9 years now so i think i have some experience.
Its tough putting on quality mass as a hard gainer but the during the first 6 month you should see some massive gains if you are serious about your training.
Here are a few tips that you might find helpful.
Don't do any extra cardio training except the warm up on the bike or thread mill before working out.
Do ONLY heavy compound exercises. Bench, military press, row, squats, dead lifts and dumbbells. Do high intensity with low reps. 6x3 per exercise should be plenty if you do it right with heavy weights.
There is no need to do extra forearm work as they should be nearly dead after you are finished with your dumbbell work. (wrist work is ok)
People seriously underestimate squats and dead lifts. Those 2 exercises alone will pack on mass like you wouldn't believe. Everyone hates them but they kick ass.
They will stimulate your central nervous system hardcore and help push that testosterone out plus they will work some very large muscle groups. Dead lifts work your legs, ass, back and arms. (not that i think you will actually do them)
Anyway do the basics and avoid working the same muscle group to many times a week as they will work hard indirectly when you do the other muscle groups.
Eat as much as you want. Don't worry you wont get fat. Trust me even if you think you eat allot you aren't eating enough.

I would say do cardio after lifting, so you don't deplete all your energy beforehand. Or better yet, do cardio on days when you're not lifting.
And please listen to the people telling you to do squats and deadlifts. These not only help your lower body grow but help your upper body grow because your muscles want to grow in equal proportions. So in other words your benchpress will be weaker without proper leg training. As your legs get stronger your arms will be "allowed" to grow bigger. It's just the way the body works.

Yeah I know what it's like to just get started, Personally it takes a lot of willpower just to initiate the process of regeneration.
For myself I have started doing these
http://www.mkprojects.com/pf_TibetanRites.htm
everymorning before I eat for about 2 weeks, in about an hour I manage to do them, along with situps, pushups, lifting weights and squat exercises. I hope to do the same repition before I sleep also eventually. It was a major pain in the ass to start doing this, but now I feel like shit if don't  . Maybe in a another 2 weeks I will start running afterwards also, we'll see. I'd say the single best thing I have done is to incorporate salads into my daily meals, and only eat meat protien when I truly feel I need it, not every night! But do what works for you.

Well I'm 5 8" and weighed 115-120 lb for a long time. Meet a nice girl who liked to cook and got up to 135 still not ideal but improvement.
Only way is to eat more and go to the gym.
I've never been much of an eater but eating more often throughout the day seems to work better than having couple main courses.

Here you go. This book covers all of the aspects of cutting fat and GAINING muscle. It is one of the best publications of its kind.

Maybe there is no Heaven. Maybe this is all pure gibberish — a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow — to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whiskey, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested...

It's called genetics. If you throw yourself into weight lifting and research it in a responsible manner, you can bulk up and be defined in your musculature.
Or, you can just start eating lots of horrible food and get a sort of undefined, sloppy extra 20 pounds on you.
