    var newTop = Math.floor(Math.random()*350);
    var newLeft = Math.floor(Math.random()*1024);
    var newDuration = Math.floor(Math.random()*5000);

    $('#friends').animate({
      top: newTop,
      left: newLeft,
      }, newDuration, function() {
        moveit();

    moveit();
});

Another variant (based on Div Moving in cycle rotation using Javascript):

var t = 0;

function moveit() {
    t += 0.05;

    var r = 100;         // radius
    var xcenter = 100;   // center X position
    var ycenter = 100;   // center Y position

    var newLeft = Math.floor(xcenter + (r * Math.cos(t)));
    var newTop = Math.floor(ycenter + (r * Math.sin(t)));

    $('#friends').animate({
        top: newTop,
        left: newLeft,
    }, 1, function() {
        moveit();
    });
}

$(document).ready(function() {
    moveit();
});​
