Lookin' good. :)

My only suggestion would be that you don't need to create all those variables like var lineOne, var lineTwo, because that wastes allocated memory. Instead, just store it all in one concatenating variable like this:

var completeStory = "Dude," + nameNoun + " last night we got wasted off those " + drinkName;

completeStory += ". Then " + crushName + " walks in and invites us to " + vacationName + ".";

completeStory += "We get there and ran into " + leastcelebrityName;

completeStory += ". Next thing I know your favorite " + favcelebrityName + "  is talking and laughing with us.";

completeStory += "I go to the bathroom and when I came back you " +  nameNoun + " plus " + leastcelebrityName + " and " + favcelebrityName + " was swimming in a pool filled with " + snackName + ",";

completeStory += "Seiously " + nameNoun  + ", you know how to party and one more thing " + leastcelebrityName + " told me to give you their number, they want to see you again.";

That way, you can just define one variable and keep adding onto it.
