    @mediajunkie yes. need a term.
    @toddbarnard Like X-Men? Or:

    “We meet next weekend.” — knowledge of an inevitable future.
    “I met her next weekend.” — first person past, yet current timeline future. Possibly only applicable to time travelers.

    Possible scifi source material for more examples:
    * Minority Report
    * Fringe
    * X-Men: Days of Future Past

  2. @potch future perfect is close, looking for more inevitable:
    “Happy about the pizza I ate later today” or
    “Tomorrow we looked at today through yesterday’s mirror.”

  3. Is there a past-tense-like verb tense for talking about likely/inevitable future events as if they’d already happened?

  4. @NikeSupport: would be awesome if friends could record #nikeplus congrats for each other; hear them among celebrities.

  5. Sometimes I’ll run 3 days in a row b/c @shalaneflanagan might give congrats after on #nikeplus: “Wow. That’s three days in a row. Boom.”
