If the Friend is really a user...wouldn't something like this work:
class Friends(models.Model):
parent_user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="user")
friend_user = models.ForeignKey(User,related_name="friends")
Then for the parent_user's friends...you'd do something like:
parent_users_friends = parentuser.friends_set.all() to bring back
a listing of all of his friends.
