Alrighty, before I turn into a pumpkin... (Say, have you ever tried that for a task of the month?) 
I find that a socket convenientely appeared where there was none before. I reach out to it, stopping with my hand inches away and will for electricity to jump to my fingers. At first nothing happens, so I focus harder I try to picture something like a lightning spell from a computer game.
There's a buzz inside the socket and a slight crackling sound. I get my fingers nearer to make things easier. The noise gets louder and suddenly a small blue ball of sparks jumps out of the socket to my fingertips.
It looks very cg-ish but I don't mind and just enjoy it as it spins with crackling light between my right index and middle fingers. I don't feel it at all on my hand. I quickly put it in my mouth and find that it's soft like a ball of crumpled woolen thread but with no texture, and it's very warm. It's still spinning over my tongue and I try to make up my mind as to what it tastes like. It strangely different from anything I ever remember tasting.
The ball vanishes, so I pull up another and another, trying to get a fix on the taste. It's subtle, bland. Not sweet or sauer, not spicy or salty, not much of anything. If it were a color, i'd say it was greyish-brown, hehe!
If you must now, I tried tasting a woolen swetter when I woke up to see if the taste matched, but it just tasted of fabric softener...
