Being direct or not

Hi,

Well I'm a brother form another member here, I asked him for advice in this matter and tho I liked his advice he told me that I could always ask here also so here I am =P

The thing is that I've known this girl for 3 years or 4 maybe but haven't seen her in like 1 year since I just started high school 1 year ago, but I've had her on my hi5 for like 2 years now, but never really talked with her except 5 days ago when I watched her pics and found out she's steaming hot (she wasn't that hot before) so I decided to leave a comment but she barely gets on hi5 so my question is should I just message her and be like: "hey I would really like to get back in touch with you, and since none of us check hi5 that often what you say if we chat over mail, here's mine in case you want to add me" or just like go around it a bit through different messages and comments?

I know kinda of a weird and lame question but could really use some help here.
So what should I do?

Thanks in advance.

I'd say do it in person if you can. Girls, you see, are prone to first impressions.

A ballsy, personal introduction is a sure thing for success.

I know I would love to do it in person, since I've been doing some of the DJ boot camp so it helps me practice and also let's me put what I've learned in practice.
But the thing is that other then hi5 I have no way to get in touch with her =S
