Notes to answerer
Asker: thanks a lot for the prompt answer! There is no context as I only need this for my.. personal use:) I'd like however this "crazy" to mean sth closer to frantic, relating to frenzy or fury, sth a bit dignified, not just an ordinary freak. I hope you understand more or less what I'm trying to say:)
