Did Pinkie Pie know the future?

     So I was browsing youtube and found cannedcream's Theory about pinkie pie starting the mane six, the video had trouble loading after he mentioned Pinkie pie so I took some time to write out my own opinion on the matter, except the video didn't load for awhile so I had alot of time to consider the idea, halfway through writing I remembered another theory on Pinkie pie being psychic. And then I started to piece together something more and had to rewrite most of my comment.

   What if the rainboom that gave the mane six their cutiemarks  affected pinkie pie stronger than the other ponies?
Not only is she the only one physically changed by the effect beyond getting her cutiemark (not counting indirectly affected people such as spike and twilight's parents)but think about it, she moved to ponyville, a town a long distance away from her home as indicated by the cutie map (it was near the edge of the table which had ponyville in the center so thats at least as far as Our Town was). Why that town of all places? Maybe because that where the mane  six would meet later? What if she saw her future in that rainbow?

   She's already shown knowledge beyond what she should reasonably know (Equestria girls),  she even sums up her getting her cutie mark as how she saved equestria, something she actually did when she was revealed as the element of laughter. Speaking of, ever notice how when she gets her element pinkie is making a pose and expression that screams "oh how I've waited for this moment!"? Heck her reaction to twilight could have been a reaction of "It's TIME" instead of "Oh a new pony",(She's shown in "A friend in deed" to have a pretty particular process of welcoming new ponies to ponyville, why change things up for twilight with another party only a few hours away?) she knew where the book of the elements of harmony was off the top of her head ("It was under E" seems oddly specific compared to the OTHER time she knew where a useful book was).
   She's also the only one besides rainbow dash directly inspired by the rainboom itself. For Twilight, Rarity and fluttershy it was the shock-wave of the rainboom affecting something else the inspired them, for applejack it was where the rainboom was headed. But for pinkie her idea for a party came from the rainbow. Also, note that she has to explain that a party is called a party to her parents, as if she'd only just learned the concept herself, perhaps she  saw herself partying in ponyville.

What if pinkie pie saw the future when the rainboom impacted her farm? It would explain all of those odditiies as well as a few other things like her being prepared for the random things twilight needed in "It's about time", and her throwing the surprise party for twilight in the library despite any prior indication that she knew twilight would be staying there.
I'm sure I'm not the first person to have thought about this since alot of the clues come from season 1 and 2, so I'd like to hear your views on this theory. Are there connections I missed? Were these all just happy coincidences? Did you guys already discuss this years ago and I'm just late to the party(pun intended)?
