I think that this can be done quite easily.  If you are writing a paragraph about the worst time in your life, or a time in which you were the happiest with others, this could be done quite easily.  At some level, it would be easy to do because when we write about or tell stories about situations, we use pronouns to simplify the process.  It ruins the flow of the story to constantly use proper names and nouns.  At some level, substitutions are needed in order to maintain the focus of the story.  Try this yourself:  Describe a situation without prounouns.  The situation would be quite awkward because the situation's development would be stalled by constantly referring to proper nouns in the situation (I just did this here with "the situation.")
