The way I was thinking of doing it was to have two foreignkeys named friend1 and friend2 then when you do your list you could run (something like)
friends = Friendship.objects.get(friend1__exact=user) and friends2 = Friendship.objects.get(friend2__exact=user) Then you have a complete instance of the friends. I'm not by a django computer right now to figure it out but friends and friends2 could be added together to pass one variable.
