I've been described as a "stealth geek" in the past because, while I write for the RPG industry, I don't display many of the other attributes of gamer geeks. Bad personal hygiene? Nope. Bad fashion sense? Nope. Anime/manga fixation? Nope. Computer gaming habit? Nope. Regular watcher of genre TV? Nope. (I have the first season of Buffy on DVD, and haven't watched the whole thing over a year later). Regular reader of fantasy / sci-fi novels? Nope. Heck, I haven't even read the Harry Potter series.
Soul brother!
Admittedly, I do play computer games. And I have been reading some genre novels lately, but I haven't actually liked many of them, so it doesn't count.
Apart from that, we could be twins. Maybe not identical twins, but fraternal.
(Incidentally, go read Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex if you haven't already.)
It's occasionally weird, being a game writer who doesn't like Star Wars or Tolkien, but I think there should be more of it.
