Yes, I think geek personality types are somewhat distinct from geek interests. I know people with the opposite experience to you: they encountered geek social circles peripherally (via relationships etc) and stuck around purely for the feeling of fitting in.
Myself I definitely have both and the only problems I have with geek social groups are somewhat incidental (ie they're very male, and have all the usual "group of like minded people" issues)
So I guess if you ever come visit WA I shouldn't invite you to Buffy night, huh? :)
(edited to use appropriate icon. If I practice using it on you I might be brave enough to use it on someone who's actually being derailing :))
