I thought of moody but dismissed it for the reason you described...maybe inconstant? Caring also had to many other connotations so I just translated a Dutch word.
I know what you mean about phantasievoll (God it's so wonderful to think german again! contrary to most people I love the language and will grab any chance to speak it...unfortunately I don't see my German family too often) but I can't think of a good translation... inventive sounds too technical whereas phantasievoll has more to with the depths of the mind...
How about imaginative? I think it's more of an exact translation
BTW your description of yourself would also fit perfectly on me!

Thanks, Melusine, "imaginative" is a perfect fit ! Why didn't I think of it myself ?
Btw, I use "babylon" a lot, it is fast and convenient and the database/vocabulary is acceptably broad. Of couse, it does not give any other information but the various translations, so nothing on gramar like which preposition to use - for me always the hardest part of a foreign language - and similar things.
Strange, I have always thought of you as quite self-confident. But then again, as great as this board is, many people don't realize how limited the extent is to which we really get to know each other.
Danke und gute Besserung ! Da fällt mir ein: mußt Du noch lange auf die Ergebnisse Deiner Tests warten ?
Ach, übrigens, Ich hoffe, Du nimmst mir meine gelegentlichen "tall blonde"- Witze/"Anmache" nicht übel ? Aber ein phantasievoller Geist ist nun auch 'mal
ein verspielter und ich liebe Klischees als "Spielmaterial".
Ist es nicht immer wieder eindrucksvoll zu erleben, wie schnell einen selbst eine Fremdsprache, die man gut beherrscht, verläßt, sobald man nur ein kleines bißchen müde ist/wird ?
Gute Nacht !
