I don't understand why I can't insert this. I can't spot the problem. The error message is Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.
The GUIDs are the ones that I got when I did a select from some other tables.
insert into [db].[dbo].[table] (myid,friendid,time1,time2) values
( CONVERT(uniqueidentifier,'0C6A36BA-10E4-438F-BA86-0D5B68A2BB15'),
CONVERT(uniqueidentifier,'DF215E10-8BD4-4401-B2DC-99BB03135F2E'),
'2014-01-05 02:04:41.953','2014-01-05 12:04:41.953')
I use SQL Server 2012
The columns are
id uniqueidentifier,
myid uniqueidentifier,
friendid uniqueidentifier,
time1 datetime nullable,
time2 datetime nullable
The problem was that the ID column wasn't getting any value. I saw on @Martin Smith SQL Fiddle that he declared the ID column with DEFAULT newid
and I didn't..

To add a bit of context to M.Ali's Answer you can convert a string to a uniqueidentifier using the following code
SELECT CONVERT(uniqueidentifier,'DF215E10-8BD4-4401-B2DC-99BB03135F2E')
If that doesn't work check to make sure you have entered a valid GUID
