Don't use the lasso, use the quick mask instead.

i use a stylus and pad, works awsome if you have shaky hand with a mouse

If you are dead set on using the lasso, you can take a break and add to it. Hold shift to add to your selection, hold alt to remove from your selection.

use pen tool to make a path, save path, and then make path a selection
