Node + Mongo to Django + Sqlite

I am attempting to make the leap from Node+Mongo to Django+Sqlite (better fits my needs) but I am having trouble creating the models for my database in Django.

In my Node app, my collections are modeled as such:

{
    "username": "someuser",
    "password": "passwordhash",
    "email": "test@email.com",
    "friends": [
        "friend1",
        "friend2",
        "friend3"
    ]
}

But each user also had a status, which was in a different collection:

{
    "username": "someuser",
    "status": "happy"
}

Right away I see the 1-to-1 relationship between status and user using foreign keys but the part that has me confused is creating the array of friends. How would I represent that in my model?

This is what I have so far:

class User(models.Model):
    username = models.CharField(max_length=32);
    password = models.CharField(max_length=200);
    email = models.EmailField();
    # what goes for the friends?

class CurrentStatus(models.Model):
    username = models.ForeignKey(User);
    status = models.CharField(max_length=32);

EDIT I found this answer (http://stackoverflow.com/a/14715454/2068709) helpful but it doesn't answer my question because I don't want the relationships to be symmetrical.
