I found this site http://messenger.yahoo.com/emoticons.php...
that shows how to create various faces using keystrokes in yahoo messenger.
It seems to only show how to make faces not 'things' like hearts and stuff. If you run a search on emoticons or smileys you will find many sites that show the different keystrokes and what they mean.
Did you know that
@>--;-- (the 'at' symbol (amperstand??) then the less than sign followed by dash dash semi-colin dash dash)
makes a rose?

I think that with practice it will not be hard for you to get the hang of it. Just print off one of the pages you find in your search and use it as a 'cheat sheet' for a little while and before you know it, it will become part of your normal 'online language'. You will know them so well, you won't even think about it. :)
Good luck,
