What's the ideal lens for shooting without a flash?

I won't be shooting in a studio or anything; just for fun.
I'm not sure if I'll be buying an external flash, but I will probably be shooting in decently lit rooms with no extra lighting. I'll try to keep my budget around $500 or less. Any suggestions?

Just a little note... I have considered the EF 50mm f1.4 USM, but I'm wondering what other lenses are out there.
Also, I noticed that most of Canon's standard zoom lenses have an aperture of 3.5-5.6. Is this good enough for my needs?
