I have seem alot of people of people on Second Life talking in sentences. (ex. Sara Ringtail pulls Shurt in closer for a kiss) I have tried to figure out how to type it out, and have failed. If someone could be nice and help I'd be really thankful.

You will see this in some of the posts here too.
/me laughs.

It does not come out correctly here, but it lets the reader know that if we were in world you would see:

yeah, what Rhonda said.

By the way, this is what's called a "chat emote" (even though it works in IM too). We use it to express all sorts of subtle actions and emotions, when we don't have a handy animation or gesture for them.

Little known fact:

"/me's" works too.
