I'm pretty certain that the global header (and therefore the name of your friends list) can be overridden and with it the name of 'friends' as they appear in your journal view pages (but not in other LJ users' friends pages)).
I haven't tried it myself so I can't be sure, you may need to be a paid member but I don't think you do for this.
I don't think many people think of 'friends' as your actual friends more a list of journals you want to read -- I've seen people use descriptions like 'person collection' before :)
