Default Your first lens?

I've been playing around with my new camera and went out with a friend today and tried out some of his lenses.

It kinda showed me the shortcomings of a kit lens (18-55mm)... (i'm not knocking on the kit lens, its great)

Now im considering getting a second lens... but i'm not sure what type to get... im really leaning towards the 50mm f1.8...

What did people on here get first?

Macro? 50mm? zoom lens?
