She went to City HIgh, a publich high school for academically "gifted" students. But all it meant is you had to test into it. City had a disproportionate number of punks and alternateens. I remember her from back then. She came off as kind of stuck up and sometimes talked with with a fake english accent for some reason. That wasn't nearly as weird as half of the people in that town back then, so I didn't think much of her at the time. She really hated Grand Rapids. She's said in interviews that it sucked, and I agree with her completely.
She grew up in London for the most part before moving there, the accent isn't fake, innit.
