eeh??

I've been sitting here for over 4 hours. And have been in and out of my room all day. I look to my left as I am getting up to grab my camera and take a picture of something and notice this:



After getting over the instinct to RUN!, poked at it to make sure it didn't poke back.
Turns out, it is a...pom pom? I think that is what they are called. Colored cottonball thing. I had bought a few of them awhile ago in case I felt like crafting anything. They remained locked up in my drawer ever since. So what the hell is it doing next to my printer???
