What 35mm color film is best for indoors use?

I have a Nikon F3, and I'm a beginner. I used lomography 800 film indoors (Starbucks, and other cafes and dimly lit places), and the pictures came out terrible. They were VERY dark. I was wondering what kinds of COLOR film would work best to my advantage in places that are lit like Starbucks. (It doesn't have to be lomography..) I would also want the pictures to come out a tiny bit grainy if not grainy at all.It would be a plus if you could recommend the aperture, shutter speed, as well as the exposure scale/index. Sorry if this sounds dumb. Beginner… Thanks.
Added (1). I also have no flash.

I want a good but cheap flash for my nikon D3000 (and D800)?

I've ordered SB 900 but I want to buy a second flash that's quite inexpensive but good. I also want it to be compatible with Nikon's TTL system and usable as a slave. I was planning to buy Nissin Di622 Mark || but a friend of mine (photographer) told me it's not strong enough. What do you think?
Any other suggestions?

My budget is up to 180 dollars.

Lenses on Nikon D3100?

So I think I'm asking for a Nikon D3100 as my first DSLR and it says it comes with a "18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens", but I'm so confused by all of the lenses available, which are compatible, and what's so special about some of them.Is that lens okay for many things? What do all of the details mean? Is it good for landscapes, people, night and day, macro shots, action shots, etc? If not, which lens should I get? What about filters? Can I put those on top of any lens? What "size" should the filters be? What are affordable lenses that are functional and fun? As many details as possible, please.
Added (1). I specifically want a fast (i don't know the technical terms) lens that has background defocus and options for manual or autofocus. Also one that I can apply effects to and one that's fast and good for taking many pictures in a row at parties and with friends or of landscapes or architecture. Also, how can I apply "bokeh" to my pictures? FINALLY, I know I said I've set my mind on this camera, but is this a good quality easy to use entry level DSLR for a 13 year old? From what I've gathered, it is, but I'm open to other options. Thanks!

Nikon D40 lens having trouble focusing?

My Nikon D40 camera has been having trouble focusing. I use the Auto-focus option, and sometimes it doesn't focus, and makes this, clicking sound.It sometimes even says that the lense is not attatched.SO I reattatch it and it works(sometimes). Does the interior just need to be cleaned or is it time for a new lense?

Overwhelmed by DSLR choices? 1 Nikon vs 2 Canons?

I am getting overwhelmed by all of the DSLR choices as I have not had an advanced camera before. If you only get a camera body, do you still need a lens to shoot? What lenses do you get? Is there regular lenses that you then add filters to or other attatchments? I want an affordable one that has basic features but possibility to improve. I've looked at the Canon Rebel T3 and T3i, so which one is better for me out of the 2 in the long run? Then, I was also looking at the Nikon D3100, so which is better, Nikon or Canon, and which Canon? What about lenses/filters/effects?

Sigma 10-20mm, Tamron 10-24mm or tokina 12-24mm? Nikon D5100?

Can't afford a Nikkor, and if i go for the tokina, which is fixed aperture, I'll have to buy the non autofocus model, on a tight budget. Need it for wide angle scenery and architecture, including long exposures and HDRs, Since i will be in Jordan for a month, and my primary lens, a 70-300 VR2 is pretty much useless there. I need an answer in terms of image quality mostly, since my experiences with a Tamron and a Sigma have given me soft foregrounds, but maybe because they were non AF macro lenses. The Tamron seems better than the Sigma, since its f/3.5-4.5 on 10-24mm, and the sigma is f/4-5.6 on lesser focal length, but the sigma is slightly more expensive, which made me wonder about the tamrons quality. They both have inbuilt AF monitors, which I pretty much need. Feel free to suggest another lens in the same price range if you know of any.

I'm thinking of buying the Nikon d7000 however?

Many people tell me buy the body only and skip the one with the kit lens, but what they don't tell me is if I buy the body only which lens should I buy. I would be using the camera for normal use nothing professional taking picture of family friends cars things like that.My budget is about 2500.
