I think it's very easy to get confused on this subject. When I switched to DSLR, it was a huge headache for me. ShockingMind, forgive me for assuming, but since you're asking this question I'm thinking you don't come from a photography background.
And that is really the only instance in which crop-factor, and conversion of equivalent focal lengths (for field of view), comes into play. Somebody who is experienced with 35mm photography has a certain image in mind, when they hear focal lengths. But if they put that same lens on a camera with crop-factor, the image is literally going to be cropped. As has been mentioned above, they'll get the same magnification, same depth of field, but the top, bottom, and sides are gonna be cut off.
Which means that if this person with a background in photography wants a particular field of view, while working on a crop-sensor camera, they have to do some quick mental math to choose the correct lens, and it won't be the one that they would've instinctually went for.
So let me ask you this -- if you don't come from a photography background, and therefore don't have these preconceived ideas of how a certain lens should look, why does the crop factor matter to you? It doesn't.
It matters only in the sense that you need to be aware of what's going on, so that when you're working with someone who comes from a photography background, you'll be able to stay on the same page as them, and know what things are going through their brains.
But you? Shooting your own stuff? Pay it no mind. Feel free to become accustomed to the different looks of your camera. There's no need for you to do any conversion-math for how a lens might have looked on a full-frame camera.
And to that end, I really like what ItDonnedOnMe says about referring to types of shots, instead of just focal lengths.
Which, by the way, 35mm cameras for filmmaking do not work the same as 35mm for photography. They do not shoot "full frame". I think it can be argued that crop-sensor cameras actually come much closer to replicating the "filmic" look than does any full-frame camera.
