Pawn e2 to e4 and Pawn d2 to d4 are the most standard openings because it gives your bishops freedom, frees the queen for early attack opportunities, and begins creating spaces for you knights to work with where they'll have a pawn to protect them. That said, I say Pawn e2 to e4 like Fat Samurai suggested.

I'm glad Team White's been holding down the fort while I was off orienting for my first real job (wooo nursing). There's not much for me to add, but I'll just say that I'm extremely surprised to see that Black so gleefully sacrificed their own pawn for, well, absolutely nothing. I don't suppose one of you guys could guess why they made that particular move?

Kingside castle is a pretty safe bet.
