loopy

Not quite right

Loopy means slightly crazy or eccentric, suggesting someone whose thinking goes in circles rather than straight lines: She gets a bit loopy when she's tired.

The word is informal and usually affectionate rather than harsh—more dizzy or scatterbrained than genuinely unhinged.

Loopy can also describe handwriting with exaggerated loops.
